What are 2 main digestive mechanisms?
Chemical and Mechanical
What are the 2 kinds of breakdown the digestive system uses?
chemical and mechanical
The digestive system has two major contributing components. What are they?
mechanical and chemical digestion
What are the three parts of the digestive system?
mechanical, chemical, and peristalsis wich are enzymes
What are two phases of the digestive process?
The two main phases of the digestive process are the mechanical digestion phase, which involves physically breaking down food through chewing and the movement of the stomach and intestines; and the chemical digestion phase, where enzymes and stomach acids break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
Is hydrolysis the same as digestion?
Hydrolysis is one chemical process that accomplishes chemical digestion. There are other chemical and mechanical digestive processes.
What do zebras and humans digestive systems have in common?
They both require mechanical and chemical digestion.
Is the esophagus chemical digestion or mechanical digestion?
No chemical or mechanical digestion occurs in the esophagus, only propulsion, which is one of the six digestive processes.
Are digestive enzymes necessary for mechanical digestion?
No, digestive enzymes are not necessary for mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces through actions like chewing and churning, while digestive enzymes are responsible for breaking down food chemically into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body during the process of chemical digestion.
Why is mechanical digestion important for proper chemical digestion?
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.
Does the stomach perform both mechanical and chemical digestive processes?
the stomach does have both chemical and mechanical digestion. Mechanical-the walls of muscle in the stomach push food back and forth Chemical-digestive chemicals rain from try walls and breaks down big food molecules to smaller ones
Which organ in the digestive system is not involved in chemical or mechanical digestion?
small intestine
