Is Digesting food Physical Property Or Chemical Property Or Physical Change Chemical Change?

Answer 1

im not 100% sure but i believe its a chemical change mostly because a chemical change is when the molocules themselves change to create something else and physical is when the molocules only rearange themselves they don't change at all. seeing as how when you digest you do change whatever you have eaten by breaking it down with the acids in your stomach turning it into what comes out next.

Answer 2

Digestion is mainly a chemical chenge, for instance, digestion stars from the mouth where food is crushed with the help of saliva from salivery glands then food goes to the stomuch where hydro chloric acid is added to kill germs present in the food. Food proceedes to the intestines where further digestion and absorbtion takes place. In the intestines other chemical like pancreatic juice, bile juice and intestinal juices are combined with the food to help further digestion and absorbtion of food in the ellium. Food digestion is a chemical reaction.
