Detailed explanation-1: -When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose. The stomach and small intestines absorb the glucose and then release it into the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -The digestive system converts the foods we eat into their simplest forms, like glucose (sugars), amino acids (that make up protein) or fatty acids (that make up fats). The broken-down food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and the nutrients are carried to each cell in the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The process of breaking down food to yield energy begins with digestion. Digestion is the process during which structures break down food and release energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -The usable materials are sent to the body’s cells as food.
