To further clarify:
Mechanical: The stomach is a muscular sack. It contracts and relaxes, sloshing and squeezing the food inside to break it down and to ease the job of the 'chemicals'. Another example is how many birds swallow stones to enhance the crushing and churning in their stomachs.
Chemical: The conditions and enzymes within the stomach contribute to chemical digestion. Hydrochloric acid, for example, creates an acidic environment that denatures proteins; whilst enzymes such as pepsin react at a molecular level with peptides to cleave them apart.
What else can I help you with?
Where does chemical and mechanical digestion take place?
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
What two organs use both mechanical and chemical digestion?
Both the mouth and the stomach perform mechanical and chemical digestion.
What is the muscular sac that completes chemical and mechanical digestion?
Stomach
How is machanicle digestion different for cheminal digestion?
mechanical digestion is with your teeth , chemical digestion is in your stomach and small intestine.
Is pepsin chemical or mechanical digestion?
Pepsin is an enzyme that plays a role in chemical digestion. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
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.
Chemical and mechanical digestion of food occur int he stomach?
no in the mouth
How does the esophagus perform mechanical digestion?
Peristalsis. The movement of muscles bringing the food to the stomach.
What does the churning action of the stomach wall accomplish?
The churning action of the stomach wall accomplishes mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth and along with chemical digestion, ends in the small intestine.
What is the structure that receives food and begins both mechanical and chemical digestion?
the stomach
Does the small intestine have mechanical or chemical digestion?
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
What type of Mechanical digestion takes place in your mouth stomach and small intestines I?
Chemical and mechanical ingestion take place in the mouth. Chemical and mechanical digestion also take place in the stomach. Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine.Ingestion, digestion then absorption.In the mouth, both chemical digestion and mechanical digestion happen. The mechanical part is your teeth crushing the food into smaller pieces. The chemical part is when the salivary glands give off a special fluid that contains enzymes. When food enters the stomach, an enzyme is released that helps to digest food chemicaly. The muscles in the stomach also digest food mechanicly. Lastly, the small intestine completes the chemical and mechanical digestion of food. The small intestine takes out all the useful matirial and sends it to the cells as tiny molecules that the cells use in cellular resparation.Baisicly, they all use chemical and mechanical digestion.
