Enzymes, both outside and inside the cell, are molecules (usually proteins) that enable food to be broken down (although they do not perform this reaction directly).

How is digestion a chemical change?
Food digestion is a chemical change. Chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes break down the food ingested into its component particles and these particles cannot be put back together through mechanical means.
A chemical that breaks down food in the body into smaller bits is called what?
A digestive enzyme
What does chemical digestion refer to?
Breaking down a material or substance. For example: When humans eat, they break down the food using chemical (hydrochloric acid) digestion, which breaks down the food into the core nutrients.
Breaking down food to get energy requires that what kinds of chemical reactions take place?
Catalysts
A chemical which breaks down food in the body into smaller bits is called a what?
It is called enzyme.
Type of digestion that breaks down food by chemical reactions?
Chemical digestion.
The process in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Mechanical digestion. The actual grinding and physical breaking down of food. Chemical digestion breaks down food using chemicals/enyzyms and chemical reactions.
When your body breaks down food into nutrients what type of digestion takes place?
When your body breaks down food into nutrients, chemical digestion is taking place. In contrast, physical digestion breaks down food mechanically into smaller particles.
Is the pancreas is mechanical or chemical digestion?
the pancreas breaks down food chemicaly
What is the type of digestion that breaks down food in to new substances?
Chemical Digestion.
Body chemical that breaks down food?
Enzyme is one of the body chemicals that break down food. It is ready in your saliva before you eat. Bile, or stomach acid also breaks down food during digestion.
What do we call a chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules of food?
They are called enzymes.
How is digestion a chemical change?
Food digestion is a chemical change. Chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes break down the food ingested into its component particles and these particles cannot be put back together through mechanical means.
How is digestion a series of chemical reactions?
Digestion is a series of chemical reactions because the food is broken down and changed in physical properties and made into nutrients for the body to use as energy.
A chemical that breaks down food in the body into smaller bits is called what?
A digestive enzyme
What does chemical digestion refer to?
Breaking down a material or substance. For example: When humans eat, they break down the food using chemical (hydrochloric acid) digestion, which breaks down the food into the core nutrients.
What helps break down food to get energy that helps chemical reactions take place?
Catalysts
