Food digestion begins in the mouth, where food particles are broken down by chewing and mixed with saliva containing enzymes that start the breakdown of carbohydrates. The food then travels to the stomach, where it is further broken down by stomach acid and enzymes, turning it into a semi-liquid substance called chyme. Chyme moves to the small intestine, where enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver continue breaking down food particles into smaller molecules for absorption into the bloodstream. Finally, the remaining waste travels to the large intestine for further water absorption before being excreted as feces.

How is food digested and absorbed using the big idea of particles?

After being digested, liquid keeps the food in the small intestine before it is broken down into tiny molecules and absorbed through the walls of the small intestine and large intestine, because they both have very small holes which the molecules can just about fit through.

What is the big idea of particles?

Particles are microscopic and explain the properties of liquids, solids, and gases. The strength of the bonds between particles is different in each state. In digestion, the chunks of foods we eat must be broken down into particles to be used by the body.


Why most food esten by humans must be digested before they can be used by the body?

Food must be digested before it can be used by the human body. This is due to the fact that food molecules are too big for the body to do anything with, so the body requires chemical and mechanical digestion to pull out the nutrients inside the food. Anything left over after the nutrients are used up is expelled from the body via the excretory system.


What happen to the food you have eaten it goes to the stomach?

It is digested by the acids in your stomach and then moved to your small intestine. In the small intestine the broken down food is carried into your bloodstream. The bigger food molecules move to your big intestines where the indigestible food molecules get their water absorbed by the larg intestine. After all that, it comes out as faeces.


What is the passage of digested food from the digestive tract into the cardiovascular system?

The term you are looking for is "absorption." Absorption is the process by which digested molecules and compounds, pass through the epithelial layer (the skin cells that line the inside of the digestive tract, as well as many other parts of the body) and into the circulatory system or, in the case of fats, the lymphatic system.
