Answer 2

Answer:

1. Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients which the body uses for energy, growth and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body. The body breaks down nutrients from food and drink into carbohydrates, protein, fats and vitamins.
2. Energy derived from food in humans is stored in the form of ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate molecules that stores energy as glycogen and fat.
