Q3. Why do we need to break big molecules into smaller molecules? ​

Answer:

In order for them to be quickly and easily absorbed.

________________________________________________

Short Answer:

Enzymes help break down large molecules for us since certain of their components are the only ones that are useful to us. In order to create proteins, lipids, and other components necessary for survival, the tiny molecules become soluble and are quickly taken into the circulation. Additionally, they could need to travel through some membranes, therefore when they are little, they can do so without difficulty.

________________________________________________

Long Answer:

The nutrients in food must pass the gut lining in order to exit the digestive system and enter our blood. This absorption occurs in the ileum and jejunum regions of the gut. In some regions, the gut lining is brimming with chemical systems that may latch onto the food's smaller molecules and "chaparone" them across the gut and into the liver. These "chaparone" molecules can hold small peptides and amino acids but not whole proteins. Greater floor fragments do not absorb. Without "chaparones," some of the stomach-digested products pass through the gut's pores, but they must be smaller than the pores. Only tiny pieces and certain fragments with complementary "chaparones" of the food we eat are molecular fragments that are absorbed. A number of gastrointestinal conditions are caused by an imbalance in the gut's capacity to absorb nutrients. One condition where iron is not effectively absorbed is Cooly's anemia. Iron deficiency affects Cooly's anemia patients, even if their stomachs digest food correctly and they have normal iron absorption. Catabolism is the process of dissolving big molecules into smaller ones. Catabolism releases energy by rupturing bonds. Anabolism creates new connections and needs energy to function. Catabolic reactions (destructive or biosynthetic process) breaks down large molecules and release energy
