Where does most of the chemical digestion take place in humans?
It is the Duodenum!Actually, most chemical digestion, in humans, takes place in the small intestine.Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine, the stomach and the mouth.
Could chemical digestion take place if mechanical digestion did not occur?
Mechanical digestion, i.e. your body breaking up the food into smaller pieces, is largely meant to speed chemical digestion up. We know that the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place is dependent on four things: the physical state of the reactants involved in the reaction, the temperature at which the reaction takes place, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst. Each influences the rate of reaction in different ways. Mechanical digestion breaks the food into smaller pieces, i.e. changes the physical state. With the larger pieces broken into smaller ones, more surface area is exposed. With greater surface area exposure, chemical digestion can take place much more rapidly. However, if for some reason you could get just huge chunks of food down your throat without chewing it, your stomach still churns (mechanical digestion) and the contractions in your intestines also help to break up food. So technically yes, chemical digestion would take place, but at a much slower and inefficient manner.
What energy transformation takes place during digestion?
During digestion, the chemical energy stored in the food molecules is converted into mechanical energy to break down the food particles, and later into chemical energy in the form of ATP that can be used by cells for various functions.
What body parts is not involved in mechanical digestion?
Chemical digestion takes place in the stomach, the intestines, (saliva or enzymes) these parts of your body also use mechanical digestion.
Most mechanical digestion takes place where?
In the Mouth then the second is the Stomach
Where does chemical and mechanical digestion take place?
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
Chemical digestion of fat takes place where?
Small Intestine.
Is their any chemical digestion that takes place in the esophgas?
well there is not
Where does carbohydrate digestion takes place?
Digestion first takes place in the mouth, then the stomach, and then in the small intestines.
Does mechanical or chemical digestion take place in the rectum?
welll it takes place in both mechanical and chemical
Does digestion start before peristalsis takes place?
Yes, digestion starts in the mouth, before peristalsis takes place. The mouth breaks up food, and starts the chemical digestion of starches.
What is the chemical that causes changes in food as digestion takes place?
the chemical is HCL(hydroclorid acid)
Where does the chemical digestion system take place in the digestive system?
It takes place in the small intestine.
Where does most of the chemical digestion take place in humans?
It is the Duodenum!Actually, most chemical digestion, in humans, takes place in the small intestine.Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine, the stomach and the mouth.
Is there any chemical digestion that takes place in the esophagus?
Yes there is, because chemical is the saliva and you swallow the saliva.
The largest amount of chemical digestion occurs in your what?
Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Compare mechanical and chemical digestion?
actually the mechanical digestion takes place first in our body that is the whole process of digestion we normally study. where the whole process is of getting things like glucose, minerals, proteins etc.. but the chemical digestion takes place at the cellular level means in the cells that is the break down of glucose in getting energy to work or metabolism of the cells
