What else can I help you with?
What are the organeles within cells where energy is released from nutrient molecules?
The organelles where energy is released from nutrient molecules are called mitochondria. These organelles are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce the majority of the cell's energy currency, known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), through a process called cellular respiration.
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process you are referring to is called catabolism. Catabolism involves breaking down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. This process is essential for producing energy and building blocks for anabolic reactions in cells.
What process break down large molecules into smaller molecules?
Hydrolysis
What is an oraganism that takes in organic molecules and then breaks them down called?
An organism that takes in organic molecules and breaks them down is called a decomposer. Decomposers play a crucial role in ecosystems by recycling nutrients from dead organic matter back into the environment for other organisms to use. Examples of decomposers include bacteria, fungi, and some types of insects.
The primary site of nutrient absorption is the?
The primary site of nutrient absorption is the small intestine. It is equipped with specialized structures called villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for efficient absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the bloodstream through tiny structures called what?
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the through tiny structures called villi.
The progress in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Digestion
What are the structures in the cell called?
molecules
What are the structures formed by covalent bonds called?
They are called molecules.
The process in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Mechanical digestion. The actual grinding and physical breaking down of food. Chemical digestion breaks down food using chemicals/enyzyms and chemical reactions.
What is the process by which nutrient molecules are moved into the bloodstream called?
into your small intestine.
The ends of DNA molecules form structures called what?
Chromatin Threads
What are the symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules called?
The symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules are called Lewis structures. These structures use dots to represent valence electrons around atoms in a molecule.
What happens after the enzyme amylase breaks down a starch molecule?
After the enzyme amylase breaks down a starch molecule, it breaks it into smaller sugar molecules called maltose.
What do you called where Mosses get water through rootlike threads?
Mosses absorb water through their rootlike structures called rhizoids. These structures anchor the moss to the substrate and aid in water and nutrient uptake.
What is the process called when food is broken down into small nutrient molecules?
cellular respiration
The process by which the digestive system breaks down food into molecules that the body can use is called .?
cells
