What is break down of food molecules called?

The breakdown of food molecules into smaller components that can be absorbed and used by the body is called digestion. It involves both mechanical processes, such as chewing and mixing, and chemical processes, such as enzyme action.


What is the process of breaking larger molecules into smaller molecules called?

The process of breaking larger molecules into smaller molecules is called catabolism. This process typically involves the release of energy as larger molecules are broken down into smaller units that can be used for cellular activities.


What is the process of breaking down food for use as energy and building materials for your body?

The process is called digestion, where food is broken down into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. These molecules are then used to provide energy and build and repair tissues. This process involves mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in the mouth, stomach, and intestines.


What is the watery material that results from digestion in the stomach?

The watery material that results from digestion in the stomach is called chyme. It is a semi-fluid mass of partially digested food, enzymes, and gastric juices that is released into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.


What is the definition there is no cell specialization and only one opening in this type of digestion?

There is no cell specialization and only one opening in this type of digestion means that some organisms, such as flatworms, don't have a developed digestive system. Every cell is exposed to the digestion process. Also, with these organisms, a single opening doubles as their mouth and anus.
