What nutrient is the most difficult to break down thus is generally used last for energy in the body?
Proteins.
What essential nutrient does protease break down?
A protease is an enzyme that breaks down protein.
Which structures break down food and release energy?
Mitochondria break down food and release energy.
The body breaks down during cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed.
Activation energy to break chemical bonds is provided by?
Activation energy to break chemical bonds is provided by ATP. ATP molecule will store energy and release it for various cell activities.

fat

Proteins.
Why are fats so difficult for the body to breakdown?
fats are more complex than other forms of carbohydrates so it take more energy for the body to break them down, so generally if it doesn't need to it doesn't break them down if your body needs the energy it will break down the fats
What is needed to produce energy from carbohydrates?
To utilize energy from a nutrient, the bonds need to be broken. Polysaccharides cannot be digested until it has been broken down into monomers (monosaccharides). To do this, enzymes need to break the glycosidic linkages between monomers.
What is the role played by decomposers in the food nutrient cycle?
Decomposers break complex organic compound and help in recycling of nutrient materials .
What essential nutrient does protease break down?
A protease is an enzyme that breaks down protein.
What organisms that break down dead organic matter in order to absorb the nutrient molecules?
The organisms that break down dead organic matter in order to absorb the nutrient molecules are known as decomposers. Decomposers are mainly bacteria, fungi, or worms.
How long does it take to break even with new appliances?
The energy savings on your bills would be immediate since the new appliances would use less energy once they are installed and the old units removed. Break-even costs will depend on how inefficient your older appliances were compared to the new stuff, but generally it would be years before you truly break-even on energy savings.
What is the organisms that break down dead organic matter in order to absorb the nutrient molecules?
heterotrophs
How can you break atoms?
The same way you break anything. By applying enough energy. But atoms are difficult to break down (or rather, atomic nucleii are). To smash atomic nucleii, you need to bombard them with high energy sub-atomic particles, like neutrons.
What happens to the stability of atoms when they form covalent?
The formtion of chemical compounds generally involves heat being given off so energy is required to "break" the compound up back nto its elments. This s true for the all of the types of bonds, each one increases the overall stability.Bonds have bond energy - the energy required to break them.
Is it easy to break an iPodtouch?
No. It's possible to break an iPodtouch but really difficult to break it. It is not really easy to break an iPodtouch.
