Chewing breaks down food into smaller pieces (a physical change). Enzymes break down the food into its different components (a chemical change).
What else can I help you with?
How are enzyems and chewing different?
enzymes and chewing are part of your mouth
How are enzyms similar to chewing and how are they different?

What do you call the process of enzymes breaking down food?

How was the first chewing gum different from chewing gum today?
The first chewing gum was whale blubber.
How does the action of chewing help the enzymes?
The action of chewing breaks the food down into smaller pieces, thus creating a larger surface area exposed to digestive enzymes. The larger surface area enables a larger amount of food to be digested at a given time. Maybe your parents were on to something when they told you to chew your food well.
Use saliva in a sentence?
Human saliva contains enzymes thus commencing digestion right from chewing.
What happens in the mouth at the beginning of the digestive process?
The action of chewing produces extra saliva - which contains digestive enzymes.
What do enzymes do to the chemicals involved in the reaction?
Enzymes are biocatalysts, they accelerate the reaction rate. Different individual enzymes operate by different mechanisms.
What changes starch to sugar in the mouth when one eats?
