What else can I help you with?
Is food reacting with pepsin a chemical or mechanical change?
This is a chemical change. Pepsin catalyzes the chemical breakdown of food.
Is your tongue involved in mechanical or chemical digestion?
The tongue is involved in both mechanical and chemical digestion. It helps break down food into smaller pieces through chewing (mechanical digestion) and it also helps mix food with saliva, which contains enzymes that start breaking down carbohydrates (chemical digestion).
Digestion occurs through both mechanical and chemical ways what is involved directly in mechanical digestion?
teeth
What kind of chemical is pepsin?
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach. It is produced in the stomach and is essential for the digestion of food.
The breakdown of food by both mechanical and chemical mechanisms is known as?
Digestion is the process by which food is broken down by both mechanical (chewing, churning) and chemical (enzymes, acids) mechanisms in the body to extract nutrients and energy for use by cells.
What are the types of digestion?
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
Is food reacting with pepsin a chemical or mechanical change?
This is a chemical change. Pepsin catalyzes the chemical breakdown of food.
Is absorption mechanical or chemical digestion?
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
Is mouth mechanical or chemical digestion?
Saliva begins the chemical digestion of starch. It also is important for the success of mechanical digestion of the mouth, but does not, in its own, perform mechanical digestion.
How are Chemical and mechanical the same?
Mechanical and chemical digestion are not the same.
A Comparison of mechanical digestion and chemical digestion?
chemical digestion is breaking down with saliva, and mechanical digestion is chewing...(break down with chew!):):P
Why is mechanical digestion important for chemical. Digestion?
Mechanical digestion chops the food in to smaller pieces, thus exposing more of it to the enzymes of the chemical digestion.Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth by the teeth, tongue and saliva. Mechanical digestion is important for chemical digestion because when food is broken down into smaller particles by mechanical means, chemical digestion will be more efficient.
Where does chemical and mechanical digestion take place?
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
Is absorption mechanical or chemical?
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
What are two parts of digestion?
mechanical and chemical digestion
Is the small intestines chemical or mechanical?
The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
Is the large intestine mechanical digestion or chemical?
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
