Enzymes are substances that break down food.
The pathways that break down fuels from the food you eat are called metabolic pathways.
When living cells break down food molecules energy is released and used to form ATP.
The cells themselves don't break down the food, it is a series of chemicals and enzymes (biological catalysts) in the digestive system. All food is broken down in the digestive system by a process called, funnily enough, digestion. Then it is absorbed into the blood stream through the villus in the small intestines
Helps break down food particles and other materials.
i know for sure that the mouth is one of them.
it digests the food
The stomach and mouth are two organs that provide mechanical breakdown of food. Bile in the small intestine also performs physical digestion.
The Stomach uses muscle force and acid to break down food.

Does the liver mechanically break down food or does it chemically do it? It's not a muscle so it doesn't break down food mechanically, but it does secrete chemicals that help to break food down, like bile, which is stored in the gall bladder and released to help break down fats and make them more soluble so that they can be absorbed by the body.
The mouth, specifically the teeth, breaks down food mechanically through the process of chewing. The stomach also contributes to mechanical breakdown through muscle contractions that help mix and churn food.
The crop stores food and the gizzard is used to mechanically break food down into smaller pieces.
Enzymes break down the food in the mouth so you take all the nutrients.
