Digestion takes place mainly in the small intestine by pancreatic enzymes eg trypsin or pancreatic lipase. but also a small amount takes place in the stomach by stomach enzymes eg pepsin or gastric lipase. of the lipase's pancreatic lipase is far more important in digestion of fats that gastric lipase. note that small amounts of starch digestion also takes place in the mouth due to the actions of amylase which is found in saliva. This action is short lived as the amylase action is abolished by the low pH of the stomach. No digestion takes place in the large intestine (aka the colon) as this is mainly for absorption of water and electrolytes.
What else can I help you with?
In homo sapiens where does the breakdown of food first take place?
In your stomach.
Where does all the chemical and bacteriologic breakdown of food take place?
stomach
Where does the process of digestion begin and where does most of digestion of food take place?
mouth
How does mechanical breakdown helps chemical breakdown?
Mechanical breakdown helps chemical breakdown because when you chew, chemical breakdown is going on all at the same time. So, that is going to chemical because if you didn't have saliva (chemical breakdown) if would take real long to digest your food.
What exactly does breakdown cover comparison do?
Breakdown cover comparison is an insurance that provides assistance to vehicle owners who have had a breakdown. It will take care of most of your mechanical issues.
Where does cholesterol breakdown in a cell take place?
Primarily in the mitochondria, but also in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Does The initial breakdown of glucose in a eukaryotic cell take place in the cytoplasm Golgi or nucleus?
cytoplasm
What organ does the absorption of food take place?
The oragan in which the most absorbtion of nutrients occurs is the small intestine.
Where does maximum digestion of food take place in a vertebrate animal?
The small intestine is where most of the food taken in by vertebrates is digested. It is also absorbed there.
What is a physical and chemical change that take place in the digestion of food?
A physical change that occurs during digestion is the mechanical breakdown of food into smaller pieces through chewing and churning in the stomach. A chemical change that takes place is the breakdown of macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into simpler molecules like amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids through the action of enzymes.
Where does weathering take place the most?
Weathering takes place the most in regions with high humidity and precipitation, such as tropical rainforests or coastal areas. This is because moisture accelerates chemical weathering processes by promoting the breakdown of rocks and minerals.
Where does maximum absorption of food take place in vertebrate alimentary canal?
Almost all of the food you take in is absorbed in the small intestine. Most of the water you drink is absorbed in the large intestine.
