The process of breaking large food pieces into smaller ones is called mastication. This is primarily done by the teeth in the mouth through chewing, which helps to mechanically break down food into smaller, more manageable pieces for easier swallowing and digestion.
Chopping is cutting food into large, irregular pieces. Mincing involves cutting food into very small pieces. Cubing results in uniform, cube-shaped pieces. Dicing involves cutting food into small, even pieces.
Mastication, or chewing, is the process of breaking down food into smaller pieces in the mouth using teeth and the tongue. This mechanical digestion increases the surface area of food particles, making it easier for digestive enzymes to further break down nutrients in the digestive system.
Mechanical digestion is not considered a chemical change. Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down food into smaller pieces through chewing and mixing with digestive juices, whereas chemical digestion involves enzymes breaking down macromolecules into smaller molecules.
This is to do with surface area. With the same amount of food cut into smaller pieces, the water is in contact with a greater amount of the food. This means two things:- 1) more of the food is being cooked at one time 2) because all the pieces are smaller it will take less time to cook the pieces properly because they are smaller.

They help in metabolism i.e the breaking down of large food substances.

This is when food particles are breaking down into even tinier pieces by: hydrochloric acid in your stomach. That is chemical digestion.
it is in mouth that the food we eat is broken in to small pieces which makes it easier to be digested (large molecules of food converted to small once)

The large intestine is the final place for breaking down food
