The human stomach is filled with acid, and the lining of your stomach contains small muscles. During the digestive process, your stomach churns your already-chewed food both mechanically (muscle movement) and chemically (stomach acid). It then moves on to the small intestines where this process continues. Your food is not fully digested in your stomach btw. The entire process of digestion takes approximately 4 hours or so. Therefore, at 10:00 AM your breakfast has only just finished being digested... if you had breakfast at 6:00 AM.
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
Saliva begins the chemical digestion of starch. It also is important for the success of mechanical digestion of the mouth, but does not, in its own, perform mechanical digestion.
Mechanical and chemical digestion are not the same.
chemical digestion is breaking down with saliva, and mechanical digestion is chewing...(break down with chew!):):P
They both require mechanical and 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.

mechanical and chemical digestion
The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
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.
