food isn't exactly broken into molecules. molecules are collections of atoms. those would be too small to see. but food is broken down so the nutrients can be gathered. the food is broken down in the stomach, then, the food goes through the intestines where the nutrients and water are gathered
mitochondiron
site where organic molecules are broken down
Food is broke down into smaller molecules because if it isn't broken down, it'll get stuck in your body.
well, enzymes are proteins that break up food molecules and digestion is when large protein molecules are broken down
u die.
So we can get the energy
So we can get the energy
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.
Mitochondria! -produce ATP (energy)
To get energy. Sugars are particularly important fuel molecules. They are oxidized in the food we eat and must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them.
Cellular respiration
Then the food wouldn't process through your body.
