It is too large until it has been broken down into very TINY pieces. Your cells are so small that they can not be seen without a microscope. The food has to be that small.
No, the body cannot absorb food that has not undergone the process of chemical digestion. Digestion breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body through the walls of the intestines. If food is not chemically digested, the nutrients remain in a form that the body cannot utilize.
food must be digested cuz the food we ingest is not a form usable by our bodies. therefore digestion is necessary to break down food in its complex, insoluble, inorganic form to a simple, soluble, organic form
Your body will expel any you have. Do not ingest any more
You can get lead poison from any form of lead if you ingest or absorb enough of it.
Folic acid is the supplemental form of folate, the body is able to absorb 90% of it. Whereas the food-form, folate, can only be absorbed by 50% due to its structure.
When iron and vitamin C are consumed together, the vitamin C helps the body absorb more iron from the food. This is because vitamin C helps convert the iron into a form that is easier for the body to absorb, leading to better nutrient absorption.
The digestive system and the circulatory system work together to absorb nutrients from food and deliver them to cells throughout the body.
Generally, the food you eat and the fat stored in your body. Specifically, it is derived from chemical processes such as cellular respiration that create ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and other energy storing molecules. These processes are possible because of the amino acids and elements/molecules that form the proteins/carbs/etc. that are found in the food that you ingest.
food travels in our body in a form of liquid after they are digested
The large intestine and rectum are responsible for excreting undigested food in the form of feces. These organs absorb water and nutrients from the food, leaving behind waste products that are then expelled from the body.
An amoeba ingests large food particles by a process called phagocytosis. During phagocytosis, the amoeba uses pseudopods to surround the food particle and form a food vacuole, which contains the ingested material. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food.
Your body breaks down food so that it can get the nutrients into usable form.
