Food
Food is broken down into nutrients by the digestive system. Ingested food is transformed into usable nutrients by mechanical and chemical processes in the digestive system.
Food is cut and mechanically broken down by the teeth in the mouth. It is then further broken down in the stomach through churning and mixing. Finally, the small intestine uses peristalsis and enzymes to continue breaking down and preparing the food for absorption.
Glucose. Starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes in our digestive system.
