The purpose of chemical digestion is to mainly break down the molecules of food which are too big to physically break down such as protiens, fats, vitamins, minerals and soluable fibres via the use or hydrochlorice acid, bile and pancreatic fluid, which should be small enough to absorb through the walls of the small intestines through the villus which have a cell wall of one cell thick, connecting to the capilliaries which takes this to the liver via the heptic portal.

Is pancreatic lipase mechanical or chemical digestion?
No, the pancreas is involved in chemical digestion, as it secretes enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of food molecules.
Where is the start of chemical digestion?
the start of chemical digestion is the mouth and ends in the small intestine. This is true and the saliva has the power of the chemical digestion
What is the purpose of chemical digestion what is responsible for the rate of chemical digestion?
The purpose of chemical digestion is to break down complex food molecules into simpler, absorbable nutrients, such as amino acids, fatty acids, and simple sugars, which can then be utilized by the body for energy, growth, and repair. Enzymes play a crucial role in this process, as they catalyze the breakdown of food substances, and their activity is influenced by factors such as temperature, pH levels, and the presence of specific substrates. Additionally, the surface area of the food particles and the overall efficiency of the digestive system can also affect the rate of chemical digestion.
