actually the mechanical digestion takes place first in our body that is the whole process of digestion we normally study. where the whole process is of getting things like glucose, minerals, proteins etc..
but the chemical digestion takes place at the cellular level means in the cells that is the break down of glucose in getting energy to work or metabolism of the cells
