'Science' does not break down food.
I would say the stomach it breaks down food with stomach acid!
breaks down food we eat and absorbs nutrients and water
The digestive system breaks down food and drink into usable nutrients for the body.
the main function of bile in digestive system is that, it breaks down fat and cholesterol in food and helps in elimination of waste.

Three main functions of the digestive system:1. Breaks down food into molecules. hi2. Molecules are absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the body.3. Wastes are eliminated from body.

In winter, the Arctic Wolf's main source of food is the mouse! Hard to believe, but proven by science.
The mouth increases the surface area of the food so that it will be easier to be digested in the stomach/small intestine. The stomach breaks down proteins and makes the food acidic, while the small intestine breaks down fats, lipids, and proteins and makes the food return to a normal pH. The liver synthesizes bile, which serves as an emulsifier, which means that it breaks down the fat by increasing the surface area to volume ratio. Those are probably the "main ones", but there are other important ones like the large intestine.
The cellular process of breaking down food to release energy is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source. The process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves several biochemical steps to extract energy from the food molecules.
the endoplasmic reticulum breaks down drugs and other substance's.
The small intestine further breaks-down partly digested food using its enzymes and enzymes from the pancreas. It then absorbs the nutrients from these foods and passes the nutrients on to the blood capillaries.
