Question

Complete the following paragraphs describing the processes of assimilation and digestion. During assimilator sugars created by photosynthesis a reconverted into lipids, proteins, complex carbohydrates and other substances. Sucrose, starch and cellulose are considered the most important carbohydrates produced through this process. Eventually, these materials will be used to construct protoplasm and cell walls. Through the process of digestion large. carbohydrates molecules (e.g.. starch or glycerol produced from excess sugar are broken down into smaller. soluble forms. Typically, this process occurs through hydrolysis. such that the addition of water and enzymes breaks complex carbohydrates into simple sugars (e.g.. glucose), fats into fatty acids and glycerol and proteins into their component amino acids. In plants, this process occurs outside cells.

Explanation / Answer

Through the process of digestion, large insoluble molecules ( e.g., starch or oils) produced from excess sugar are broken down into smaller, soluble forms. Typically, this process occurs through hydrolysis, such that the addition of water and enzymes breaks complex carbohydrates into simple sugars ( e.g., glucose), fats into fatty acids and glycerols and protein into their component amino acid. In plants, this process occurs within cells.
