food gets broken down into simpler subs. like carbohydrates into monosaccharides(mainly glucose and fructose) proteins into amino acids and fats into lipids. They then get absorbed into the bloodstream.
food isn't exactly broken into molecules. molecules are collections of atoms. those would be too small to see. but food is broken down so the nutrients can be gathered. the food is broken down in the stomach, then, the food goes through the intestines where the nutrients and water are gathered
Yes, it is true that the stomach is where food goes to be broken down and digested. It is not exactly a graveyard, but rather a digestive organ where enzymes and acids work to break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
the food that we eat, it goes to the mitochondria where it is broken down into energy.
Food is broken down first by your teeth.Then it goes down to the stomach and the digestive system breaks it down even more.
ok here's how it goes..... 1st food is broken down in mouth by teeth and starch is broken down into sugar by enzymes 2nd food is mixed with hydrochloric acid and proteins are broken down 3rd food goes to small intestine and bile from liver breaks up fat and food is absorbed through the wall of the small intestine into the blood. 4th food is stored in rectum before leaving body through anus.
is food broken down when respiration in plants occur?
It goes down the esophagus and into the stomach, the gastric acid breaks it down and sends it off the the small intestine. In the small intestine it is broken down into it's final component. It is then stored in the liver for energy.
First the food gets broken down,then goes to the anus.(In case you didn't know an anus is a buttwhole.)
Food is ground up in the mouth then the stomach breakes it up more and what is left goes to the small intestines and the rest goes through the large intestines. The rest is solid waste.
to digest: your body digests food as it goes down your body, digesting is where in your body the food is broken down until it reaches the bottom! serving for or pertaining to digestion; having the function of digesting food: the digestive tract.
enzymes
When food is broken down the stored energy is in your cells. When the energy is needed, the cells release the energy.
