3 Nutrients carried to cells
4 Carbohydrates changed to sugar

Answer 1

1. Carbohydrates changed to sugar
2. Proteins broken down to amino acids
3. Fats converted to fatty acids
4. Nutrients carried to cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Digestion is the transformation of food into assimilable substances, carried out in the digestive or digestive system, through two types of processes: mechanical and chemical.

The mechanical process corresponds to chewing and swallowing food. At that moment, the molecules of carbohydrates, proteins and fats break down, through the grinding of food and the action of enzymes present in saliva. At that moment, carbohydrates are changed into sugars, proteins are divided into amino acids and fats are converted into fatty acids. After that moment, these molecules are sent to the stomach, where through the action of enzymes they will allow their nutrients to be transported to the cells.
