The purpose of chemical digestion is to mainly break down the molecules of food which are too big to physically break down such as protiens, fats, vitamins, minerals and soluable fibres via the use or hydrochlorice acid, bile and pancreatic fluid, which should be small enough to absorb through the walls of the small intestines through the villus which have a cell wall of one cell thick, connecting to the capilliaries which takes this to the liver via the heptic portal.
