Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm while the remainder of the process occurs in the mitochondria.
Oxidation of food typically starts to occur at temperatures above 40-50°C (104-122°F). As temperatures increase further, the rate of oxidation also increases, leading to food spoilage. Refrigeration helps slow down the oxidation process by keeping food at lower temperatures.
Stale food develops a peculiar smell due to the breakdown of fats and oils in the food by oxygen and heat. This process, called oxidation, results in the formation of rancid compounds that give stale food its distinctive odor. Additionally, bacteria and mold growth on stale food can also contribute to the unpleasant smell.
The breakdown of food without the use of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. This process produces energy in the form of ATP without requiring oxygen. However, it generates lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts, depending on the organism carrying out the process.
An enzyme secreted by pancreatic cells is most likely targeted to the digestive system, specifically the small intestine. It enters the small intestine through the pancreatic duct to aid in the digestion and breakdown of nutrients in food.

Couple of reasons: The first one being oxidation. Oxidation is when matter loses electrons which are a major makeup of plant life. This the beginning of the breakdown of vegetable matter. Exposure to moisture from the air is also why vegetable matter will start to break down.
BREATHING- It is the intake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide. RESPIRATION-It involves breathing and breakdown of food with and release of energy with the help of oxidation of blood.
No. Most of the breakdown of food is done by the small intestine.

mechanical breakdown
Enzymes are the molecules responsible for catalyzing biochemical reactions, including the breakdown of food molecules. They act as biological catalysts by lowering the activation energy required for these reactions to occur.
