What else can I help you with?
Is food digestion a chemical or physical change?
Its a chemical change.
During digestion where is water absorbed?
Large Intestine
How water is involved in the process of digestion and photosynthesis?
water is a necessity for digestion because it helps your stomach to break up the particles in your food.
Is the large intestine mechanical digestion or chemical?
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
Does an absence of water in the stomach speed digestion?
No. It actually slows down
What type of chemical reaction take place in stomach during digestion?
In the stomach during digestion, hydrochloric acid is secreted to break down food and kill bacteria. This acid creates an acidic environment where enzymes can digest proteins. This process is a chemical reaction known as hydrolysis, where water is used to break down large molecules into smaller ones for absorption.
Is the large intestine chemical or mechanical?
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical 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.
Can drinking water with meals impair digestion?
Drinking water with meals may dilute stomach acid and enzymes, potentially slowing down digestion. However, moderate water intake during meals is generally not harmful and can aid in digestion.
Is water to vapor a physical change?
Yes, as the water does not undergo an inherent change in its chemical makeup.
How does the stomach mechanically digest the food?
Once in the stomach, more chemical and mechanical digestion occurs. The crushing and breaking action of the stomachs contractions with HCl help not only break down food, but also lend a hand in converting pepsinogen to the enzyme pepsin. This enzyme in the stomach takes the roll of the chemical digester, and breaks certain peptide bonds, thereby breaking up proteins in the stomach. Partly digested food from the stomach now travels to the small intestine, through the pyloric sphincter, and is know as chyme. copyright. all right reserved It doesn't the only kind of digestion is Chemical Digestion which is caused by your Stomach Acid. :) Mechanical digestion does occur in the stomach along with chemical digestion. The stomach squeezes the chyme and that is considered to be mechanical digestion.
Do tums dissolve in water?
Yes, Tums are tablets that are designed to dissolve in the stomach, not in water. When they come into contact with stomach acid, they undergo a chemical reaction to help neutralize excess acid and provide relief from heartburn and indigestion.
