Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy in Biology ~ NGSS Link LS1.C-M.2

Within individual organisms, food moves through a series of chemical reactions in which it is broken down and rearranged to form new molecules, to support growth, or to release energy.

Items associated with this NGSS statement in this project (Original Project) and other key ideas
BF069003	Digestion is needed to break down both fat molecules and complex carbohydrate molecules into molecules that are small enough to get to cells of the body.
BF001005	During digestion, protein, complex carbohydrate, and fat molecules in the food we eat are broken down into smaller subunits.
BF066003	During diegstion, the protein molecules in the food we eat are broken down into amino acids.
BF072004	The subunits that fats are made up of are fatty acids.
BF073004	The subunits that complex carbohydrates are made up of are simple sugars.
BF005008	The subunits that proteins are made up of are amino acids.
BF068003	During digestion, the fat molecules in the food we eat are broken down into fatty acids.
BF096003	Both proteins and fats (but not amino acids and fatty acids) need to be broken down into smaller molecules before they can get to the cells of the body.
BF003005	If a person could not digest food anymore, the person would lose weight because most of the molecules from food could not be used for building materials.
BF087003	Complex carbohydrates (but not simple sugars) need to be broken down into smaller molecules before they can get to the cells of the body.
