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
mechanical digestion - chewing, mixing, churning chemical digestion - breakdown of fat, carbohydrate and proteins by specific enzymes (lipases, amylases, and proteinases respectively)
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
Mechanical Digestion (or physical digestion) is more about the mouth. It's chewing, biting, breaking down, and sofening the food. This is why its called "Mechanical" Digestion.Mechanical digestion involves the pulverizing and crushing of food particles, usually by chewing. Chemical digestion occurs through the secretion of digestive juices.
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
Saliva begins the chemical digestion of starch. It also is important for the success of mechanical digestion of the mouth, but does not, in its own, perform mechanical digestion.
Mechanical and chemical digestion are not the same.
chemical digestion is breaking down with saliva, and mechanical digestion is chewing...(break down with chew!):):P
Mechanical digestion chops the food in to smaller pieces, thus exposing more of it to the enzymes of the chemical digestion.Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth by the teeth, tongue and saliva. Mechanical digestion is important for chemical digestion because when food is broken down into smaller particles by mechanical means, chemical digestion will be more efficient.

The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
