Mechanical digestion is the physical mashing and pulling apart of food like chewing your food. Chemical digestion uses acids and enzymes to chemically break down the food until it is small enough to be absorbed through the wall of the small intestine.
The are two types of digestion: chemical and mechanical. Enzymes are examples of chemical digestion. The use of teeth to break down food is an example of mechanical digestion.

mechanical digestion, digestive system, and chemical digestion
Mechanical digestion is the process of chewing and breaking the food into smaller pieces. Chemical digestion is the process of the enzymes changing the food into simpler substances.

Degradation and some oxidation to smaller molecules
Digestive juices and enzymes break down the complex food materials into simpler compounds and that is how they facilitate in digestion.
enzymes breaks down food proteins into smaller molecules that can be carried by blood
Enzymes break down food proteins into smaller molecules that can be carried by blood.During digestion protiens, which are chains of amino acids, are broken down into smaller chains. This is done so that the amino acids can be synthesized in the body.
they get smaller
All digestive enzymes are hydrolases which use molecule of water and break large molecules by hydrolysis in smaller ones .
Digestion.
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules. The digested molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to the different parts of the body.
In digestion, they break down substances into smaller molecules, so that they can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Carbohydrase emzymes such as Amylase break starch down into glucose. Lipase enzymes break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. Protease enzmes break down protein into amino acids.
