Do teeth cause a chemical reaction to take place?
Teeth themselves do not cause a chemical reaction. However, when food comes into contact with teeth, the process of digestion begins with enzymes in saliva breaking down the food molecules into smaller components. This can be considered a chemical reaction in the context of digestion.
What is the name of the chemical reaction that is also called digestion?
The chemical reaction that is also called digestion is called hydrolysis. In this process, water is used to break down complex molecules into simpler ones that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.
What is the chemical equation for digestion?
The chemical equation for digestion is: Food Digestive Enzymes Nutrients Waste
What is the chemical equation for the process of digestion?
The chemical equation for the process of digestion is: Food Digestive Enzymes Nutrients Waste Products
Is the digestion is combination reaction?
It is decomposition then combination reaction.

Describe the chemical reaction that takes place in tahe decay of foods growth of plantd digestion of food?
what is chemical reaction taking place in the delay of foods growth of pro digestion of foods
What chemical reaction helps break down food to get energy required?
This is the digestion process.
What does chemical digestion refer to?
Breaking down a material or substance. For example: When humans eat, they break down the food using chemical (hydrochloric acid) digestion, which breaks down the food into the core nutrients.
Mechanical digestion prepares food for what kind of digestion?
Chemical Digestion. Mechanical digestion is the chewing of your food while chemical digestion is the processes that further break down the food like your saliva and stomach acids.
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.
What chemical speeds up the chemical reaction in digestion?
Enzymes are the chemical substances that speed up chemical reactions in digestion. They help break down large food molecules into smaller, absorbable nutrients that can be easily assimilated by the body.
What is the name of the chemical reaction that is also called digestion?
The chemical reaction that is also called digestion is called hydrolysis. In this process, water is used to break down complex molecules into simpler ones that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.
What is the difference between chemical and mechanical digestion?
Medical digestion is the physical process of breaking down food Chemical digestion is the process of breaking down food by chemical enzyme.
How might the chewing of food be related to the rate of chemical reaction digestion that occurs in your body?
Chemical reaction rate is increased by: -increased surface area -increased temperature -increased concentration of reactants -presence of a catalyst Chewing food essentially breaks up large chunks of food into smaller bits, increased total surface area for digestion.
The main steps of digestion in humans are and?
-Mechanical Digestion, which is when we chew our food in our mouths.-Chemical Digestion, when the acids in our stomach and intestines accually break it down to enable the body to absorb the nutrients and excrete the waste.
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.
