Is the mouth a chemical or mecahnical breakdown?

The mouth is involved in both chemical and mechanical breakdown of food. Mechanical breakdown occurs through chewing and mixing with saliva, while chemical breakdown is initiated by enzymes in saliva that start breaking down carbohydrates.


Copper and gold are both elements What can you conclude?

Both copper and gold are elements on the periodic table, meaning they cannot be broken down into simpler substances chemically. They each have distinct chemical properties and atomic structures.


What kind of gated channels are involved in the generation of graded potentials?

Graded potentials are generated by ligand-gated channels and mechanically-gated channels. Ligand-gated channels open in response to chemical signals, while mechanically-gated channels open in response to physical stimuli such as pressure or touch. Both types of channels allow ions to flow across the membrane, leading to changes in membrane potential.


What happens when you combine the elements lithium and neon?

Neon is chemically inert and doesnt combine with lithium


How and where in the digestive tract does food undergo physical and chemical changes?

Food undergoes physical changes primarily in the mouth, where it is mechanically broken down by chewing and mixed with saliva, which begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates. In the stomach, food is further physically churned and mixed with gastric juices, which contain hydrochloric acid and enzymes that chemically digest proteins. As food moves into the small intestine, it experiences both physical mixing and significant chemical changes, aided by bile from the liver and pancreatic juices, which help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into absorbable nutrients.

What happens in the stomach during the digestion of a ham sandwich that you ate for lunch?

The Ham Sandwich is broken down both chemically and mechanically because the stomach produces gastric acid that breaks it down. Also, the stomach squeezes the food to help it break it down which is mechanical digestion.

Is paper making wood a physical or chemical change?

The process of making paper from wood involves both physical and chemical changes. Physically, the wood fibers are mechanically separated and broken down into pulp. Chemically, during the pulping and bleaching processes, chemical reactions occur to alter the composition of the wood fibers and remove impurities, resulting in the transformation of raw wood material into paper.


What are the differences between atoms and compounds?

both are pure substances, but atoms represent the smallest bits of elements. compounds are chemically combined atoms, molecules represent the smallest bits of compounds. atoms cannot be broken down into simpler substances, compounds can be broken down into atoms.

Will sodium and pottasium bold chemically?

Not typically. Both have either 0 or positive oxidation states. You can bind them chemically to a third compound, whereby they will be both in the same molecule together.
