What do cells use digested foods for?

Cells use digested foods as a source of energy to power various cellular processes, such as growth, repair, and maintenance. Nutrients from digested foods are also used to build and repair cellular structures, enzymes, and hormones. Additionally, cells can store excess nutrients for later use.

What is the process by which the cell takes in digested foods and other chemicals?

Process by which the cell takes in digested foods and other chemicals is called endocytosis. Cells absorb molecules by engulfing them during endocytosis.This process is called as endocytosis and consist of phagocytosis ( eating by cell ) or pinocytosis ( drinking by cell ).


What must happen to the foods for the nutrients they contain to be incorporated into cells?

For nutrients in foods to be incorporated into cells, the foods must first be digested, breaking them down into smaller molecules such as amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose. These smaller molecules are then absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, they are transported to cells throughout the body, where they can be utilized for energy, growth, and repair processes. Additionally, cells must have the appropriate transport mechanisms to uptake these nutrients effectively.


Why do foods have to be digested?

Food must be chemically digested because the substances which our body needs cannot be absorbed into the blood until they have been broken down into small, soluble chemicals with the help of enzymes in our mouth. When the food is digested, its molecules are small enough to pass through the wall of the small intestine by diffusion.

Why only the starchy foods start to be chemically digested?

It's because in the mouth we masticate the food.Mastication increases the surface area of the food which helps to accelerate the breakdown of the carbohydrate molecules.Whereas in other parts of the digestive system where foods are chemically digested mastication does not occur.so foods containing starch start to be chemically digested.
