Mechanical Digestion (or physical digestion) is more about the mouth. It's chewing, biting, breaking down, and sofening the food. This is why its called "Mechanical" Digestion.Mechanical digestion involves the pulverizing and crushing of food particles, usually by chewing. Chemical digestion occurs through the secretion of digestive juices.
ChemistryNo, it isn't a chemical change. Just because the apple lost a piece, mass, and volume, doesn't mean it is no longer an apple. Rather, this is a mechanical change.

Biting, chewing & swallowing are somatic, the rest of digestion is autonomic.
Biting surface ridges refer to the raised patterns on the chewing surface of teeth, which help in grinding and breaking down food during the chewing process. These ridges aid in the mechanical breakdown of food particles, facilitating digestion. The unique arrangement and size of these ridges vary among different types of teeth, such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, to serve their specific chewing functions.
Of course they do. All creatures that chew their food before digestion have jaws and teeth, capable of biting and grinding so it can be swallowed without choking.

The function of the teeth is the mechanical breakdown of food. i.e. to chew and bite your food breaking it into smaller pieces to allow for it to mix with saliva. The smaller pieces also allow for the chemical breakdown of food by various enzymes to occur faster.
The main jobs of the teeth are to aid in the mechanical breakdown of food through biting and chewing, which enhances digestion. They also play a crucial role in speech by helping to articulate sounds and words. Additionally, teeth contribute to the overall structure and appearance of the face, supporting the lips and cheeks. Proper alignment and health of the teeth are essential for maintaining oral hygiene and preventing dental issues.
Oh, dude, it's like a little bit of both! When you chew that juicy burger, the physical action of biting and breaking it down is a physical change. But then your saliva gets all up in there and starts breaking down the food chemically, so that's a chemical change. It's like a party in your mouth, man.
