A rabbit eats a carrot for food. What happens to the molecules of the food? A.
The molecules get destroyed in the animal's body.
B.
The molecules get converted to energy and other types of molecules.
C.
The molecules get completely eliminated by the rabbit as waste.
D.
The molecules get converted to energy only.

Explanation:

Let's examine each answer choice.

A. The molecules get destroyed.

This is false. Matter can't be destroyed.

B. The molecules are converted to energy and other molecules.

This choice is true. Different molecules are used for different purposes.

C. The molecules get completely eliminated by the rabbit as waste.

This is false. Nutrients and molecules are extracted and used in the body for processes like cellular respiration.

D. The molecules are converted to energy only.

This is false. Some molecules will be used to produce ATP, but not all. Some will be used in other processes and eliminated as waste.

The best answer is Choice B.

The proton has a positive charge while the neutron has no charge they both make up the nucleus of the atom while the elections have a negative charge and surround the nucleus of the atom. the protons and electrons are used to calculate the atom's mass whereas the neutrons don't affect the mass
