What is the process by which nutrient molecules are moved into the bloodstream called?
into your small intestine.
What is the process by which chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into energy to be used by the organism?
Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.
What is it called when small molecules build up larger molecules?
This process is called synthesis.
What small hydrocarbon molecules form polymers?
Monomers are small hydrocarbon molecules that form polymers.
What moves faster large molecules or small molecules?
given the same amount of kinetic energy a smaller molecule would have a high velocity according to k=mv^2
What process of breaking down food into small nutrient molecules?
Digestion :)
What is the process of breaking down food to small molecules?
digestion
What is the process by which nutrient molecules are moved into the bloodstream called?
into your small intestine.
What is the process called when food is broken down into small nutrient molecules?
cellular respiration
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.
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.
Small round structure that breaks down nutrient molecules?
No
Do Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the blood stream through the villi?
Yes.
The progress in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Digestion
What two digestive processes occur in the small intestine?
The two processes that occur are digestion and absorption. Digestion is the process by which your body breaks down food into small nutrient chemicals. While absorption is the process in which when the small nutrient molecules go through a wall of the digestive system and into the blood.
The process of breaking down food to release its energy is called?
The process of breaking down food so we can absorb it is called digestion. Releasing the energy by breaking it down further in our cells is respiration.
What breaks down food into molecules that the cell can use?
It is broken down into small molecules by a complicated process called digestion. Digestive enzymes like saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice, bile, pancreatic juice all play a part in digesting and breaking down the food to small molecules so that it can get absorbed by the small intestine
