Is food digestion a chemical or physical change?
Its a chemical change.
Is the large intestine mechanical digestion or chemical?
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
During digestion where is water absorbed?
Large Intestine
How water is involved in the process of digestion and photosynthesis?
water is a necessity for digestion because it helps your stomach to break up the particles in your food.
Does an absence of water in the stomach speed digestion?
No. It actually slows down
Is water a physical or chemical change?
Water is not a change of any sort. It is a substance. It can undergo physical and chemical changes.

What is the name of the chemical reaction that is also called digestion?
Decomposition RXN, In decompositon RXN the compound present in the food that we eat are being simplified by our body for the elements to be properly distributed to the diffirent parts of the body for example, H2O (Water), When we drink water our body simplifies the compound through digestion, It seperates H (Hydrogen) which is used to clean our body and O (Oxygen) which is our means of life.
Is water to vapor a physical change?
Yes, as the water does not undergo an inherent change in its chemical makeup.
How does the stomach mechanically digest the food?
Once in the stomach, more chemical and mechanical digestion occurs. The crushing and breaking action of the stomachs contractions with HCl help not only break down food, but also lend a hand in converting pepsinogen to the enzyme pepsin. This enzyme in the stomach takes the roll of the chemical digester, and breaks certain peptide bonds, thereby breaking up proteins in the stomach. Partly digested food from the stomach now travels to the small intestine, through the pyloric sphincter, and is know as chyme. copyright. all right reserved It doesn't the only kind of digestion is Chemical Digestion which is caused by your Stomach Acid. :) Mechanical digestion does occur in the stomach along with chemical digestion. The stomach squeezes the chyme and that is considered to be mechanical digestion.
Is filtering sand from water a chemical reaction?
No, it is a physical reaction because it doesn't undergo any change in chemical properties.
What chemical changes does water undergo?
Electrolysis will turn water into hydrogen and oxygen gas.
