Explain why chemical digestion does not begin in the mouth for all foods?
Chemical digestion in the mouth primarily involves the breakdown of carbohydrates by the enzyme amylase in saliva. Not all foods require significant carbohydrate digestion, such as proteins and fats. Therefore, chemical digestion for these macronutrients begins further down the digestive tract, where specific enzymes like pepsin and lipase are present.
What type of foods don't require chemical and physical digestion?
Foods that are already broken down into their simplest forms, such as liquids, do not require chemical and physical digestion in the same way that solid foods do. These foods can be readily absorbed by the body without the need for extensive digestion processes.
What Organ containing a strong acid?
The stomach contains strong acids to help with digestion and the breaking up of foods.
What is the use of saliva an example of?
The main use of saliva is to help with digestion by breaking down food and making it easier to swallow. An example of this is when saliva begins the process of breaking down starchy foods into simpler sugars as you chew.
What is the name for foods containing live microorganisms?
probiotics

Where does digestion?
Digestion begins in the mouth where saliva break down the foods into the bio-chemicals.

Foods that are already broken down into their simplest forms, such as liquids, do not require chemical and physical digestion in the same way that solid foods do. These foods can be readily absorbed by the body without the need for extensive digestion processes.
What organs secrete enzymes which begin chemical digestion in the mouth?
The salivary glands in the mouth secrete enzymes in saliva that begin chemical digestion.
What type of digestion is used to break down small foods particles by enzyme action?
"chemical" or "chemical digestion"
What are the functions of the digestive?
Saliva moistens food particles, helps bind them, and begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates. Also solvent, it dissolves foods so they can be tasted.
Describe the chemical reaction that takes place in tahe decay of foods growth of plantd digestion of food?
what is chemical reaction taking place in the delay of foods growth of pro digestion of foods
How do cellulose containing foods such as fruit and vegetables help the process of digestion?
provide essesntial enzymes
What process increases the surface area of foods prior to chemical digestion?
Mechanical digestion is the process that increases the surface area of foods prior to chemical digestion. This process involves chewing, churning in the stomach, and segmentation in the small intestine to physically break down food into smaller pieces, allowing enzymes to work more efficiently.
Which process increases the surface area of foods prior to chemical digestion?
chewing
What are chewing and churning types of?
Chewing and churning are types of mechanical digestion. The other type of digestion is chemical digestion, which involves the breaking down of foods via enzymes.
What is the similarities between mechanical and chemical digestion?
They both break down food. Mechanical digestion literally breaks it down by grinding it. Whereas chemical digestion uses amylase (saliva that contains an enzyme) To break down the foods from starch to simple sugars.
