What else can I help you with?
What works together with pancreatic juice to chemically break down food?
stomach acid
Type of digestion that takes place in the mouth and stomach?
Both chemical and mechanical digestion take place in the mouth and stomach. The organs both break food into smaller parts, and use enzymes to break down food chemically.
What in the mouth helps to chemically digest food?
Saliva helps the mouth to break down the food, but what digests the food is fiber, and stomach acid.
What contain enzymes and is specialized to break down and ingested materials?
Stomach acids and I think saliva
What nutrient is chemically broken down in the stomach?
Protein into amino acids by enzymes and hydrochloric acid!
What happens when the spaceship break through the ozone layer?
A spaceshit passing does not break ozone. It replenishes automatically unless altered chemically.
What body part breaks down food?
In your mouth, saliva from your salivary glands chemically breaks down carbohydrates and lipids. Your stomach chemically breaks down food with hydrochloric acid and makes the food soupy. Enzymes and other substances continue the break down of food in the small intestine. So, food is chemically broken down in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.
Does the stomach destroy some of the drinking water?
The stomach does not destroy drinking water; rather, it processes it. When water enters the stomach, it mixes with gastric juices but is largely absorbed in the intestines rather than being chemically altered. The primary function of the stomach is to break down food, while water primarily aids in digestion and hydration. Thus, water remains intact and is absorbed into the bloodstream after passing through the digestive system.
What happens in the stomach during the digestion of a ham sandwich that you ate for lunch?
The Ham Sandwich is broken down both chemically and mechanically because the stomach produces gastric acid that breaks it down. Also, the stomach squeezes the food to help it break it down which is mechanical digestion.
What acid is used in the stomach?
Lactic acid. Its used to chemically break down foods. --- Lactic acid is actually a by-product of anaerobic respiration, not used in the stomach. The acid used in the stomach to break down foods is called Gastric Acid, which consists mainly of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) as well as containing Potassium Chloride (KCl) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl).
Digestion is it a chemical or physical change?
It has both chemical and physical components Chewing, of course, is a physical process. Additionally enzymes in the saliva and stomach break down food chemically.
What two ways is food broken down as it transfers the ''tube''?
Food is broken down in two main ways as it travels through the digestive tract: mechanically and chemically. Mechanically, food is physically broken down by chewing in the mouth and by the churning action of the stomach. Chemically, enzymes and acids in the saliva, stomach, and intestines break down complex food molecules into simpler nutrients that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This dual process ensures efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.
