I consider that this is a physical process.
The mechanical process of digestion is first, followed closely by chemical digestion. After that it is mostly chemical digestion, then absorption, and lastly elimination, or defecation.
the smooth muscles in the small intestine take the energy and nutrients from the chemical energy to the liver where they are taken to the whole body, the other compounds not obtained by food are made in the human body
A falling tree
The naturally occurring breaking of rocks into smaller pieces is called physical (or mechanical) weathering. The other forms are biological and chemical weathering. All result in the diminution in size of the original rock.

The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.

Small chunks are always falling from chalk cliffs.
chemical break down
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
The mouth is the beginning of both mechanical and chemical digestion. Chewing breaks the food into smaller pieces and the saliva wets the food but also adds an enzyme called amylase that begins the digestion of carbohydrates.
digestion
Chemical and mechanical ingestion take place in the mouth. Chemical and mechanical digestion also take place in the stomach. Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine.Ingestion, digestion then absorption.In the mouth, both chemical digestion and mechanical digestion happen. The mechanical part is your teeth crushing the food into smaller pieces. The chemical part is when the salivary glands give off a special fluid that contains enzymes. When food enters the stomach, an enzyme is released that helps to digest food chemicaly. The muscles in the stomach also digest food mechanicly. Lastly, the small intestine completes the chemical and mechanical digestion of food. The small intestine takes out all the useful matirial and sends it to the cells as tiny molecules that the cells use in cellular resparation.Baisicly, they all use chemical and mechanical digestion.
