What else can I help you with?
What is the type of digestion that breaks down food into molecules that can be absorbed?
small intestine
What system is responsible for the process of reducing food to small molecules in order for it to be absorbed?
digestive
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
What is the process by which food is broken down into molecules small enough to be absorbed by the body?
chemical digestion
What do small molecules do in small intestine?
Small molecules are absorbed in the small intestine...I hope this helped...
What breaks down food in your body?
Your stomach
What does maltase do to food while in the small intestine?
Maltase is part of the bursh border enzymes of the small intestine. This enzyme breaks the disaccharide known as maltose into two glucose units which are then absorbed through the intestinal wall
What is digestion answer?
The process in which food containing large, insoluble molecules is broken down in to small, water soluble molecules (which can be absorbed by the body) is called digestion.
How is maltose digested?
Maltose is digested in the small intestine by the enzyme maltase, which breaks it down into two glucose molecules. These glucose molecules can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy by the body.
How is the water you drink absorbed into the blood?
Water is absorbed into the blood through a process called osmosis in the small intestine. The water molecules pass through the walls of the small intestine and into the bloodstream, where they are then circulated throughout the body.
How does the process of digestion break down starch in the body?
During digestion, starch is broken down by enzymes in the mouth and small intestine. The enzyme amylase breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules like maltose. These sugar molecules are further broken down into glucose, which can be absorbed by the body for energy.
Where small soluble molecules absorbed into the body?
The small Intestines :D
