Here’s how you can complete the table by identifying the nutrients that each biomolecule is broken down into:
|
Biomolecules |
Nutrients |
|
Carbohydrates |
Simple sugars (Monosaccharides, e.g., glucose) |
|
Fats |
Fatty acids and glycerol |
|
Proteins |
Amino acids |
Answering the additional questions:
4. After passing through the digestive organs, where do the nutrients go before they can be delivered to the cells of the body?
• Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein before being distributed to the cells of the body.
5. What do cells need to take in from the bloodstream to get usable energy?
• Glucose and oxygen are needed for cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP.
6. What byproducts do cells get rid of?
• Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) are the primary byproducts of cellular respiration, along with some metabolic waste.
7. This diagram represents the equation for a general chemical reaction…
• Likely referring to cellular respiration, the equation is:
Glucose (C₆Hâ‚â‚‚O₆) + Oxygen (Oâ‚‚) → Carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) + Water (Hâ‚‚O) + Energy (ATP)
