What is TRUE about the breakdown of starch, and complex carbohydrates
Organisms breakdown starch into carbohydrate subunits (Glucose)
WHEN do humans store fat molecules in their bodies?
When they eat more calories than they need
How do children use food molecules to grow taller Children grow taller when they...
use food molecules they eat to build large molecules that make up new cells
What are facts about enzenes
Are usually made of proteins
Speed up reactions
Can be "denatured" if the pH or temp are not ideal conditions
Can be used many times
Why do plants usually grow in soil
Non-food nutrients and water from soil help
Apple ---> Beginning of digestion ---> Sugar molecules from apple ---> ????
Break down further into single glucose monomers???
What are the 2 main things that go in and out of the Human Body
