Most fertilizers must be broken down in the soil before they can be broken down by a plants' roots. Nitrates of N-P-K are not immediately water solluble, and thus are not readily available to the plant as 'food'
monosaccharides
Glucose must be present in order for cellular respiration to occur. Cellular respiration is the process in which glucose is broken down in to ATP (energy), Carbon Dioxide, and water. Glucose is a reactant in the sense that it must be present for the reaction to occur.
These are intermolecular forces.
Breaking bonds uses energy, making bonds releases energy.
Fat reserves in the body can be mobilized and broken down to release energy.
Yes. In order for the body to use food, the food must be broken down into it's most basic elements. Complex carbohydrates are broken into simple carbohydrates, proteins are broken down into amino acids and fats are broken down into fatty acids. Some of this break down takes place because of the acids in your stomach, but enzymes in the stomach and mouth are required to further dismantle food into usable nutreints.

The digestive system breaks food down into useful nutrients.
Digestion is necessary because for energy from the food to be released and carried into the cells in our body the food must be broken down into soluble molecules for it to diffuse into the cells. Then energy is released during respiration.
We break down food so we get things like water and nutriants into our blood!
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.
Food has nutrients in it- substances that give our body many important ...Beforenutrients can go to work foodmust be broken down so that they canpass into ourbody. ... Starches must be broken down into sugars before our body can use them. ...It is a component of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen to red blood cells.
Food must be broken down into components that can be used by your body. That is digestion. Without it, you would starve.
The small bowel absorbs nutrients from food but first it must be broken down into amino acids ie: proteins, carbohydrates, fibre etc... before being transported round the body.
Because of its size, starch can not pass through the cell membrane. So, it must be broken down to its monomer form glucose with enzyme amylase.
Alcohol is a liquid that is absorbed directly into the blood stream from the stomach. Food is absorbed through the intestines, but it must be broken down first. That is why alcohol is absorbed faster.
