Mechanical and chemical digestion. In mechanical digestion the teeth breakdown food into smaller pieces and in chemical digestion the salivary glands breaks down the food molecules.

Most chemical digestion takes place where?
Though most protein digestion occurs in the stomach, all types of food (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) are digested in the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
What types digestion occur in the mouth?
The body begins digestion in the mouth by breaking down food and exposing it to certain digestive enzymes. Amylase for starch digestion and lipase for fat digestion are enzymes found in human saliva. For humans, it is especially important to thoroughly chew cooked starches, such as pasta, bread, or baked potatoes, because much of our starch digestion occurs in the mouth.
What are 2 types of teeth in a lion's mouth?
The canines, which tear the food, and the molars, which then grind them for better digestion.
2 types of digestion are?
Mechanical Digestion (ex. chewing your food) and Chemical Digestion (ex. your spit breaking down the food). Those examples happen in the mouth, but both types happen elsewhere in the body, too.
What do enzymes do with the digestion of food?
Chemical breakdown is one of the two types of digestion of food. It is the breakdown of complex molecules to simpler monomers. Chemical digestion takes place in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine of the human body. Enzymes play a major role in chemical breakdown. In the mouth, the enzyme amylase speeds up the breakdown of starch into sugar. In the stomach, gastric protease speeds up the breakdown of proteins to polypeptides and amino acids. Finally, in the small intestine, bile emulsifies fat and pancreatic fluids deliver enzymes such as amylase, protease, and lipase to break down starch, proteins, and lipids into glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids/glycerol respectively. Enzymes are key to the digestion of food.
What are the types of digestion?
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
Name three organs where lipid digestion occurs?
Mouth, stomach, small intestineActually, lipid digestion only occurs in the small intestine. It does not occur anywhere else in the digestive tract.The enzyme which digests lipid is lipase. There are three types of lipase; lingual, gastric, and pancreatic. lingual is found in the mouth, gastric is found in the stomach, and pancreatic is found in the pancreas. While most of this lipid is digested in the small intestine, digestion occurs in other areas as well. The previous answer is correct; digestion of lipids occurs in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.
What are chewing and churning types of?
Chewing and churning are types of mechanical digestion. The other type of digestion is chemical digestion, which involves the breaking down of foods via enzymes.
What types of digestion occur in the mouth?
Both mechanical and chemical. Chewing, also called mastication, is using your teeth with the help of your tongue to break down food into smaller particles, and the other a chemical process where salivary amylase which is a digestive enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates.

Where is the Amylase Enzyme located?
There are two types of amylase enzymes. Salivary amylase is known as ptyalin; act upon carbohydrates in the mouth. Ptyalin begins polysaccharide digestion in the mouth; the process is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic amylase, sometimes called amylopsin.
