chyme
The liquid mixture of food in the stomach is called chyme.

Energy enters a food chain in the form of sunlight, which is converted into chemical energy by producers through photosynthesis. When energy leaves a food chain, it is typically in the form of heat after being used by organisms for metabolism and daily functions.
Food vacuoles are structures that form in other organisms, such as protists, to digest food inside their cells. In humans, digestion mainly occurs in the stomach through the action of enzymes and stomach acid breaking down food. The human digestive system does not form food vacuoles because digestion is extracellular, occurring in the stomach and intestines rather than inside cells.
The stomach, an organ of the digestive system, churns food and has hydrochloric acid in it.
The mouth and the stomach help to break down food mechanically. In the mouth, food is chewed and mixed with saliva to form a bolus. In the stomach, muscles contract to churn and mix the food with gastric juices to form chyme.
After food is consumed, it enters the stomach where it is mixed with stomach acid and enzymes. The stomach muscles then churn and break down the food into a semi-liquid form called chyme. This chyme is gradually released into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.

The stomach is a J-shaped organ that mixes food with acid and enzymes to produce a soupy liquid, called chime, that then moves into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Spinach stores its plant food in its dark green leaves through the process of photosynthesis. This plant food, in the form of carbohydrates, provides energy for the spinach to grow and thrive.
