What else can I help you with?
Is it true that plants use nutrients directly in photosynthesis?
No, not really, nutrients are a source of nourishment (food), energy for life. Photosynthesis involves Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide (from the air) and Water (from the soil). These substances are basic chemicals not true nutrients. The sugars produced from these chemicals by Photosynthesis are nutrients, they contain energy for life - (the energy from the Sunlight)
Process of keeping chemicals the body needs?
The body obtains the chemicals it needs through the process of digestion, absorption, and circulation of nutrients from food. Specialized organs like the liver and kidneys help regulate and balance the levels of these chemicals in the body by filtering out waste products and storing essential nutrients for later use. Hormones also play a crucial role in signaling the body to produce or utilize specific chemicals as needed.
What organ system is responsible for the distribution of food nutrients to the different bparts of the body?
The circulatory system is responsible for the distribution of food nutrients to different parts of the body. After nutrients are absorbed in the digestive system, they enter the bloodstream, where the circulatory system transports them to cells and tissues. This system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, ensuring that essential nutrients reach their destinations efficiently.
The study of how your body uses the nutrients in the food you eat is called?
Nutrition.
What do you call the useful chemicals you get from food?
Proteins are useful chemicals that you obtain from food.

What are the different kinds of nutrients and their food sources and functions?
protein
Why does organic food look different?
It hasen't been sprayed with chemicals.
Describe how a mold growing on an orange obtains its food?
As the fungal hyphae expand into the orange, they produce enzymes. These enzymes break down different chemicals in the orange. The degraded chemicals are then absorbed by the hyphae to be used as food.
What is a substance that living things use to break up food?
There is acid in the stomach and chemicals called enzymes in the intestines that break up food and transport the nutrients into your bloodstream.
Why does eating different foods healthier?
Because you can't get all the essential nutrients your body needs from just one kind of food. Different foods provide different nutrients.
What does the digestive system convert?
The digestive system converts food into nutrients. Breaking it down with enzymes and other chemicals. It turns it into nutrients and fat (Fat is to be stored for later use to provide energy).
Why each of us needs a different amount of food?
Our bodies metabolize food differently.every body is different and everyone needs different nutrients to help with growth.
How do oxygen and food nutrients reach the different part of the body?
to put simple food is broken down
How is the digested food transported?
The nutrients are taken out of the food while it is being digested, and going into your bloodstream, which flows around your body and feeds the nutrients to different parts of your body.
What is meant by the term nutrients?
Nutrients are chemicals that are needed by a living thing to function properly. They can be needed to live, grow, breathe, move, excrete waste, or reproduce. Animals and humans consume nutrients in the food they eat, whereas plants use their roots to absorb nutrients from the soil.
What does it mean when food is broken down into chemicals that cells can use?
That process is known as digestion. When all of the nutrients are extracted from the food we eat and we get rid of the waste. That is all part of the digestive process.
