What is the digestion process?

Answer 1

First, the food is in the mouth, where it is chemically digested by enzymes in the saliva, and mechanically digested by the teeth. Next, the food goes down the esophagus, and it takes about 6 seconds. The food then goes in the stomach, where churning occurs. That's the mechanical digestion. The chemical digestion is the gastric juice. Next, it goes through the duodenum, and into the small intestine. The mechanical is..idk...and the chemical is the bile.The nutrients and vitamins are absorbed into the blood. Then the food goes into the large intestine, where the water is sucked out of the un-digested waste and arrives at the rectum waiting to be released by the anus.

Answer 2

Digestion is the process that breaks down large insoluble molecules into small soluble molecules to make nutrients audible for absorption while eliminating waste.
