Breaking down a material or substance. For example: When humans eat, they break down the food using chemical (hydrochloric acid) digestion, which breaks down the food into the core nutrients.
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
Chemical property
The small intestine is a coiled tube in which chemical digestion occurs.
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).
Pepsin is an enzyme that plays a role in chemical digestion. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
Its a chemical change.
No, the pancreas is involved in chemical digestion, as it secretes enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of food molecules.
the start of chemical digestion is the mouth and ends in the small intestine. This is true and the saliva has the power of the chemical digestion
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
chemical digestion is breaking down with saliva, and mechanical digestion is chewing...(break down with chew!):):P
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
Were does chemical digestion take place
Chemical digestion
it is use for chemical digestion as it emulsifies fats.
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.
