No. Anything involving a chemical is not mechanical. It is chemical. It this case a liver "chemical" like enzymes would be involved in the process of digestion. The mechanical process is what you would see when you chew your food, for example. You are not actually changing the food but making the larger parts smaller.

The liver itself does not perform chemical or physical digestion. The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder until its release into the small intestine. Bile breaks down fat particles into smaller particles, and thus has a role in physical digestion.

Both. The liver mechanically produces enzymes that chemically help to breakdown food and toxins in the body.

Yes, the liver produces bile which is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. The bile is a fat emulsifier. So, it breaks down fats which cant be broken down anywhere else.
