Answer:

Store Energy – When we take in more energy than we need, the body stores it as adipose tissue (fatty tissue, which we call fat).  

Regulate and Signal – Lipids regulate the temperature of your body, keeping it steady, not too hot, and not too cold.  

Insulate and Protect – Our bodies are padded with fat, protecting us from everyday friction.

Aid Digestion and Increase Bioavailability – When food breaks down in the gut, fat is released and combines with fat-soluble nutrients

The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the _______ of the body can use.
erma4kov [3.2K]


The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the cells of the body can use. 

Food is broken down  into its simplest units called monomers. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol while carbohydrates are broken down into glucose units.

Glucose is taken in by the cells of the body and through the process of cellular respiration  is used to produce the ATP, the form of energy that cells use. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use glucose to produce energy to power their functions.
