What is a mass formed during the process of chewing?
The mass formed during the process of chewing is called a bolus. It is a soft, moist ball of food that has been partially broken down by the teeth and mixed with saliva to aid in swallowing and digestion.
Why does the gums mass decrease when you are chewing on it?
Generally most of gums are generated by sugary material.as on chewing these it dissoles with saliva and the mass decrease slowly.
Why does the mass of chewing gum reduce after you chew it?
because of the molasses
A bolus is formed in the?
Bolus is a round soft mass formed in the mouth after chewing
Does chewed gum loses mass?
Yes, chewed gum does lose mass over time as the act of chewing breaks down the structure of the gum and releases some of its components into saliva. This can result in the gum losing weight or mass as some of it is swallowed or sticks to surfaces.
What if mass and gravity is gone?
No problem. Without mass, gravity has no effect anyway.
What is the deepest part of the Connecticut river?

Are weight and mass similar?
Weight and mass are related but not the same. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. Mass is constant, while weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity.
What is the advantage of chewing food rather than swallowing it whole?
Chewing food before swallowing has four important roles: 1) Preparation of bolus to facilitate swallowing Chewing mechanically breaks down large complex food molecules into smaller simpler molecules so that there is an increase in surface area for the action of salivary enzymes (e.g. amylase) to begin digestion (however, digestion in the mouth is minimal compared to the SI). 2) Chewing stimulates salivary flow and hence allows the food to be mixed and lubricated which makes swallowing easier 3) Chewing releases chemicals from food which stimulate taste bud receptors 4) Chewing helps to maintain the structural integrity of the oro-facial tissues (it is through the process of chewing that exercise of our jaws helps to keep them strong and healthy) Chewing before swallowing makes digestion and absorption more efficient as the lubricated bolus is a much smaller mass of food and so nutrients extracted can be absorbed more quickly. Chewing is particularly important for tough food such as red meat than it is for fish, eggs, cheese because these can be broken down in the SI aswell. Red meat is more difficult to break down in the GI tract and this makes it harder to absorb nutrients from it. Hope this helps?
What is the softball of food formed in the mouth after chewing?
The semi-solid mass of food formed in the mouth after chewing is called a bolus. It is a mixture of food particles, saliva, and enzymes that can easily be swallowed to continue the process of digestion.
How does gum lose mass?
Bazooka gum loses mass because of the sugar loss. As you chew on the gum you are eating the sugar inside the gum. What you are chewing on is a gum base. Once the sugar is gone all that is left is the gum base, which has no flavor.
