Best Answer

Enzymes are acids in our stomach than break down food particles. You see, When we chew food, it is not broken down completely, so enzymes break them down in the stomach, and there are stronger enzymes in the small intestine, where, all the nutrients from the food are taken by tiny holes in the small intestine called "villi". When all the nutrients are taken out from the food, it becomes waste (poop). ;)
