Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
Its a chemical change.
Chemical digestion
No, the pancreas is involved in chemical digestion, as it secretes enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of food molecules.
When polymers are broken down into monomers, the body uses those monomers for a number of activities. Some of them include protein construction and respiration. The process of polymers breaking down to monomers is called hydrolysis.WRITEN BY: oneofthem:
The type of chemical reaction that connects polymers together is dehydration synthesis.
Carbohydrates are sugar polymers, digestion breaks the polymer into its monomers, simple sugars like glucose.
Degradation and some oxidation to smaller molecules
the start of chemical digestion is the mouth and ends in the small intestine. This is true and the saliva has the power of the chemical digestion
yes, they have chemical bonds therefore chemical change is used
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
