Answers:
Baking is the technique of prolonged cooking of food by dry heat acting by conduction, and not by radiation, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones.[1] Primarily used for the preparation of bread, cakes, pastries and pies, tarts, and quiches. Such items are sometimes referred to as "baked goods," and are sold at a bakery. The person who does the baking is called a baker. Also used for the preparation of baked-potatoes, -apples, -beans, -custards, -hams, -pasta etc.

Domestic ovens in North America are usually provided with two heating elements: one in the bottom for baking, using convection and conduction to heat the food; and one in the top for broiling or grilling, heating mainly by radiation. Meat may be baked, but is more often roasted, a similar process, using higher temperatures and shorter cooking times.

it gets eaten, this is from a teacher.

use the internet ! eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/baking...

the molecule break down. The browning is mostly due to small quantities of carbon produced by the ultimate break down of (mostly carbohydrate molecules). This is also from a teacher!

the heat cooks the food maybe your looking for a more technical answer but i don't have i just know its raw when you put it in cooked when it comes out

The moisture comes out.

its just a way of cookin in the oven that dosent involve fat like frying or roasting. we bake cakes but they already contain fat that cooks them. we bake spuds and pizza but thats about as interesting as it gets i think.

The dry heat transforms the food into hot food, and because of longer exposure to the heat, the foods becomes cooked. The heat changes the molecules, destroys the cells and makes it into something edible for humans.
