What happens to the food we eat in the stomach and digestive system?
The proteins are broken down to amino acids and get absorbed. Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose (and fructose) and are absorbed. Fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol and absorbed. Minerals and vitamins are absorbed as such.
What can a molecule be broken into?
A molecule can be broken apart into its constituent Atoms.
The energy of ATP becomes available to a cell when the molecule is what?
the ATP molecule is broken down
What is fat broken down into?
The triglycerides are each broken into a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. From the intestines they are absorbed into the bloodstream as monoglycerides and brought to the liver for processing. The atoms can be re-configured so the energy can either be used (burned) or stored as fat for later use.
Material that cannot be broken down into other materials is?
molecule
Which Luciferin is broken down in cells controlled by?
an enzyme

The molecule luciferin is broken down and the energy is released in the form of heart and light in this process luciferase functions as?
an enzyme
What can a molecule be broken down into?
Atoms or elements. These can be broken down further into protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What happens when a biological organic compound such as proteins and carbohydrates are broken down or synthesized?
They are broken down into simpler molecules by the digestive system so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
List three substances that are produced when water molecule are broken down during the light reaction?
When water molecules are broken down during light reactions like in photosynthesis, they yield oxygen, NADPH and ATP (which stores energy that can be used in dark reactions).
Where is the water molecule broken down?
The Thylakoid Membrane

What happens in the alimentary canal?
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Starch is broken down by enzymes. Macromolecules are broken down.
What happens to proteins in small intestine?
They are broken down and absorbed into the blood.
