Explain why food is digested in animals and not in plants
Answers
Answer:
Animals, for the most part, ingest their food as large, complex molecules that must be broken down into smaller molecules (monomers) that can then be distributed throughout the body of every cell. This vital function is accpomplished by a series of specialized organs that comprise the digestive system.
various organic macromolecules such as starch, proteins, and fats. These molecules are polymers made of individual monomer units (as discussed in an earlier chapter). Breaking these large molecules into smaller components involves:
movement: propels food through the digestive system
secretion: release of digestive juices in response to a specific stimulus
digestion: breakdown of food into molecular components small enough to cross the plasma membrane
absorption: passage of the molecules into the body's interior and their passage throughout the body
elimination: removal of undigested food and wastes
