b. They can be destroyed by cooking.

Answer:

D)They cannot be broken down by digestion.

Explanation:

Actually, it is required by digestion to broke down and get to the minimum expression of all the nutrients, vitamins and <em>minerals</em> ingested in order to be absorbed, and this way nourishes all the human body.

All these nutrients are acquired directly from the food we ingest, the digestion starts to break them down into different components of vitamins and minerals, after that the nutrients are reduced drastically into little particles, once are in this state, the body can absorb and use them for energy, growing, cells reparation, etc.

Once the minerals and vitamins are broken down, divided and reduced into their minimum expression, different special processes convert these nutrients into diverse components as:

<u>- </u><u><em>Proteins chemically decompose nutrients (minerals included) into amino acids.</em></u>

<u>-</u><u><em>The fat its chemically decomposed into glycerol and fatty acids.</em></u>

<u><em>-The carbs (some of them with mineral composition) are chemically decomposed into simple sugars</em></u>

<u><em /></u>
