When an animal's stomach contains enzymes that break down food into smaller molecules that the animal's cells can useenzymes perform this function by?
Enzymes in an animal's stomach break down food into smaller molecules by speeding up chemical reactions. They interact with specific substrates in the food molecules to produce smaller, more easily absorbed molecules that can nourish the animal's cells. This process allows the animal to obtain energy and essential nutrients from the food it consumes.
Compared to the ingested food molecules the end product molecules of digestion are usually?
Smaller and simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the body, such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids.
In grasshoppers where is food digested and absorbed into the bloodstream?
Food in grasshoppers is digested in the midgut, where enzymes break down the food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed. The nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the midgut and transported to the rest of the body for energy and growth.
What part of the alimentary canal is digested food mainly absorbed?
The small intestine is the primary site of nutrient absorption in the alimentary canal. Its long, coiled structure and large surface area facilitate the absorption of digested food molecules into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.
What is the procss of changing food to a soluble form called?
The process of changing food into a soluble form that can be absorbed by the body is called digestion. This involves breaking down food into smaller molecules through mechanical and chemical processes in the digestive system, allowing nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
When you eat I mix your food with chemicals made by your body what am i?
You are saliva. Saliva contains digestive enzymes that help break down food into smaller molecules that can be easily absorbed by the body.
Food molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream in the what?
Small intestine
What happen when you digestive food?
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into small, water-soluble food molecules that can be absorbed.
What does a capillary do in the villus?
It is where food molecules/ nutrients are absorbed into the blood.
What is the tube called that absorbed food molecules go to?
Capillaries
The process of breaking down food into molecules the body can use?
This process is called digestion. It involves the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in the gastrointestinal tract, where enzymes break down large molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed ones like sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids. These molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to provide energy and nutrients to the body’s cells.
Bacteria can only take in food if the food is?
If the food can be degraded into small molecules, so it can then be absorbed by the bacteria.
How is the heat transferred to a microwave?
Microwaves emit electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed by water molecules in food. The absorbed energy causes the water molecules to rotate, generating heat through friction and heating the food.
What contributes to chemical digestion?
Enzymes contribute to chemical digestion. They are produced by the pancreas and together with bile, chemically change food into molecules so that it can be absorbed easily by the body.
What is the type of digestion that breaks down food into molecules that can be absorbed?
small intestine
Which system is responsible for the reducing food to small molecules in order for it to be absorbed?
digestion
What are the food molecules absorbed through the walls of the small intestines transported by?
plasma
