Type of digestion that takes place in the mouth and stomach?
Both chemical and mechanical digestion take place in the mouth and stomach. The organs both break food into smaller parts, and use enzymes to break down food chemically.
Is mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth?
Yes. Mechanical digestion in the mouth is when you are chewing. There is also chemical digestion which is the enzymes in saliva that start to break up starches into simple sugars in saliva.
Digestion takes place inside vacuoles containing what?
digestion take place inside the vacoules
What systems breaks food into nutrient that can be used by the body?
Digestion of large nutrients into smaller molecules takes place throughout the digestive system. Wherever there are enzymes secreted, you can be sure that the break down of substances is taking place. Specific organs where this takes place include the mouth, the stomach and the small intestine.
Digestion take place inside containing what?
digestion takes place inside lysosomes containing digestive enzymes. n_n
Digestion takes place inside containing .?

What is the function of enzymes in digestion?
In digestion, they break down substances into smaller molecules, so that they can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Carbohydrase emzymes such as Amylase break starch down into glucose. Lipase enzymes break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. Protease enzmes break down protein into amino acids.
Where does most of the chemical digestion take place in humans?
It is the Duodenum!Actually, most chemical digestion, in humans, takes place in the small intestine.Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine, the stomach and the mouth.
The largest amount of chemical digestion occurs in your what?
Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
What causes stools in the stomach?
The chewed food passes from our mouth to the oesophagus (gullet) . When it reaches our stomach the enzymes that are inside speed up the digestion process. This shows that a chemical reaction is taking place, when food is being digested. Later, the food passes from our stomach to other parts of our body and the things we ate before comes out when we excrete.
What breaks down starches in food?
Enzymes like amylase, mainly produced in the saliva and pancreas, break down starches in food into simpler sugars like glucose. This process begins in the mouth during chewing and continues in the small intestine where further digestion takes place.
What is the difference between emulsification and the digestion of fat?
After you've eaten a roast dinner, fill up the tray that held the potatoes with water, and watch as giant globules of oil settle on the surface. Now imagine this taking place in your intestines. To enhance the surface area for enzymes to act upon, emulsification takes place to break these large blobs of fat molecules into smaller blobs. The example above was a simplified, but effective analogy. Digestion is where enzymes break up the individual fat molecules into smaller products, which are then easier to absorb into the blood. Emulsification = breaking down lots of fat molecules into smaller clumps of fat molecules. Digestion = breaking one fat molecule into smaller products.
