The food is chewed and mixed with saliva to begin digestion, and to help the food pass through the esophagus to the stomach. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, also called ptyalin.
If your mouth isn't working right then your food will not get chewed up correctly.
It would die because of lack of oxygen, and lack of food.
Oh, dude, comparing my mouth to a workstation in a factory is like saying a squirrel is the CEO of a nut company. I mean, sure, my mouth processes food like a workstation processes materials, but let's not get too carried away with the analogies here. My mouth is more like a food carnival than a factory floor, you feel me?
The mouth (by chewing) and the stomach (by gastric motion).
1) your hair will get in the food, which nobody likes... 2) any germs/other things in your mouth gets in the food, which is gross, and unprofessional. 3) any dirt in your hair gets in your food.
The system of organs in an animal's body that processes food, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
2 primary actions that I'm aware of. Mechanical breakdown and breakdown by amylase.
The mouth makes the food more chewed up so that it can go down easier through the esophagus. The chemical processes in the stomach work better when the food is chewed and able to soak up the stomach acid. The mouth also secretes enzymes in the saliva to help break down starches that are in the food.
Digestion in the mouth and stomach both involve mechanical and chemical processes to break down food. In the mouth, chewing (mechanical) and saliva (chemical) begin the breakdown of food, while in the stomach, churning (mechanical) and gastric juices (chemical) further digest it. Both processes aim to transform food into a more digestible form, facilitating nutrient absorption later in the digestive tract. Additionally, enzymes play a crucial role in both locations, aiding in the breakdown of carbohydrates in the mouth and proteins in the stomach.
open your mouth put the food in your mouth close your mouth chew your food and swallow your food idiot
The mouth breaks down food by both mechanical (chewing) and chemical (enzymes in saliva) processes. This helps to physically and chemically break down food into smaller molecules that the body can absorb. Saliva also helps to moisten food and initiate the digestion process.
The act of grinding the food is not chemical change, as the same molacules are present in the same form, but there are many chemical reactions in the mouth (such as the breakdown of long chain carbohydrates), and other processes which aid digestion (mixture with mucus)
