explain how carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that are consumed when eating may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules that make up cells and tissues within the body

Food supplies us with the matter necessary to build living tissue and the energy to do work. There are three main types of macromolecules found in the food we eat; carbohydrates, lipids and protein. Food also contains vitamins and minerals, but we are not concerned about those during this activity. Each of these types of macromolecules vary in structure and function and they also store different amounts of energy.

describe how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from food may interact with other elements to generate amino acids and/or other big carbon-based compounds that make up the body's cells and tissues.

During digestion, fructose is produced by the breakdown of larger molecules. Which type of molecule could be broken down to increase the body’s fructose levels?
