What else can I help you with?
Which organ is most important?
All of the organs are very important. The most important is probably "the big organ" which is your intestinal organ. That is what the food eaten goes through after it is broken up, but before it reaches the toilet.
Is food broken down while in the small intestines?
Most digestion occurs within the small intestine. So yes, food is broken down while in the small intestine.
Why do most food molecules need to be broken down into smaller pieces?
So we can get the energy
What organ relies most critically on a steady supply of glucose?
That would be the liver. The liver stocks glucose as glycogen which can be broken down to glucose.
In respiration what food is most easily broken down by cells?
Im pretty sure its carbohydrates
Why must most food be broken down?
Most food needs to be broken down into smaller molecules so that it can be absorbed by the body. These smaller molecules can then be transported through the blood to cells where they are used for energy, growth, and repair. Breaking down food also helps to release nutrients and make them accessible for the body to utilize.
What best describes food when it reaches the small intestine?
By the time food has reached the small intestine, it has been broken down into small proteins.
True or false Most animals have a cavity inside their body where food is broken down into substances the body can use?
True. Most animals have a cavity, like a stomach, where food is broken down by enzymes and acids to extract nutrients that the body can use for energy and growth.
What most directly controls the rate at which food is broken down to release energy A enzymes B hormones C nucleic acids D vitamins?
The factor that most directly controls the rate at which food is broken down to release energy between (A) enzymes, (B) hormones, (C) nucleic acids or (D) vitamins is (A) enzymes.
Without digestive enzymes the meal is useless to the body is this statement valid?
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.
What type of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
Which organ does food spend the most time in?
The Teeth.
