Question

Why does your body have to breakdown food molecules?

Answer 1

To be able to absorb it and send it to the cells.

Explanation:

Food molecules are just too big to be properly absorbed and carried around by the blood stream and delivered to the cells. Thus, our body goes through the process of breaking them down, called digestion.

• Digestion: breaking down large, insoluble food molecules into small, soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed by the blood stream.
