Because you can't process raw food into "you", only the simple components that result from digestion.
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.
Protein foods must be digested to amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are essential for various bodily functions, such as muscle growth, repair, and overall health.
Insulin is not needed for digestion to take place. It is required for glucose to enter cells and be used by the body. Digestion takes place in the digestive system, and is concerned with getting substances INTO the blood. Once they are there, the process of using the chemicals is called metabolism.
The digestion first starts in the mouth and the food is absorbed in the small intestine, and the water and minerals go to your large intestine:)learned this in biology, last week =)
The digestive system includes; mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, anus, pancreas, liver and gall bladder. The purpose of the entire digestive system is to break down foods into nutrients that can be absorbed into the blood.
No, minerals, vitamins and water do not need to be digested. The foods that contain them need to be. However, minerals, vitamins and water need to be absorbed by the body into the bloodstream.
Well water is not digested but i actually have no idea what I'm saying so forget this answer :)
it makes the molecules smaller and simpler
Your body takes out all the nutrients, and other things it needs and then gets rid of the rest as wastes. And that is what digested foods are used for.
Drinks are the easiest digested food because it does not have to be broken down, especially water. Water is the best drink that gets digested easily. Foods like ice-cream french fries, can also get digested easily!

Most food is digested in the stomach.
your stomach acids dissolve the food that you ate.
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.
Foods are digested partly in the stomach, and nutrients absorbed from the mashed/wet foodstuffs in the intestines.
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.
yes plasma is a yellowish liquid that carries hormones and digested food around your bodywhat foods
