Compare mechanical and chemical digestion?
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
Is the anus chemical or mechanical digestion?
The anus is not involved in either chemical or mechanical digestion. Its main function is to expel indigestible material out of the body in the form of feces.
Which form of mechanical digestion begins in the mouth?
Chewing on the food
Where does the mechanical digestion the beginning?
This form of digestion starts in the mouth with the salivary gland witch break down food
Chewing and churning are examples of what type of digestion?
Chewing is a mechanic digestion as i found out here on WikiAnswers. So i hope i have answered you question those of you who have needed this little bit of information x.what the heck are u talking about?
What two processes of digestion begins in the mouth how do they differ?

Where and how does hydrolysis occur during digestion?
In your mouth, amalyze chemically digests new food through your spit. This is a form of hydrolysis in digestion.
What is role of stomach during digestion?
The stomach serves too major roles in digestion. It is a place where chemical digestion takes place with stomach acid helping to break down food. It is also a place where mechanical digestion takes place. The stomach muscles expand and contract to crush and grind food.
Why does digestion have to occur in heterotrophs?
because they eat things in a form that they cannot use, therefore they must digest it to transfer it to a usable form.
What energy transformation takes place during digestion?
During digestion, the chemical energy stored in the food molecules is converted into mechanical energy to break down the food particles, and later into chemical energy in the form of ATP that can be used by cells for various functions.
What process increases the surface area of foods prior to chemical digestion?
Mechanical digestion is the process that increases the surface area of foods prior to chemical digestion. This process involves chewing, churning in the stomach, and segmentation in the small intestine to physically break down food into smaller pieces, allowing enzymes to work more efficiently.
Is the anus chemical or physical digestion?
Whatever matter reaches the anus is at the end of the road as far as digestion is concerned and the anus is more concerned with excretion. The food is mechanically digested in the mouth by the teeth and tongue and chemically digested there by your saliva. It is then mechanically digested in the stomach where it's contents are mixed together with muscular contractions and chemically digested with hydrochloric acid and pepsin, etc. It is then moved to the small intestine where other things are added like pancreatic enzymes and bile, where some mechanical digestion takes place when peristalsis occurs that moves the matter through the alimentary canal, but mostly here it is chemically digested. The large intestine mainly removes excess water from the matter and helps to form solid matter for excretion. It is retained in the rectum until the sphincter muscles in the anus relax and allow for the passage of the stool. If anything though, it would be mechanical.
