A. Physical changes happen at a molecular level and chemical changes are changes in the state of matter.

B. Chemical changes are reversible and physical changes are not.

C. Chemical changes happen at a molecular level and are not reversible. Physical changes are changes in state of matter and can be reversed.

Why does food from the small intestine need to enter the blood stream?

So that it may be delivered to all of the body's cells for the cells to use for energy.

So that the food may be excreted through the excretory system.

So that it may be further broken down by the red blood cells.

So that it may be excreted through the respiratory system.
