Is digesting a banana a chemical reaction or is it a reversible change?
Digestion involve chemical reactions, it is a chemical and mechanical process and is irreversible.
Reaction that break apart large molecules are involved in which type of digestion?
chemical
What chemical speeds up the chemical reaction in digestion?
Enzymes are the chemical substances that speed up chemical reactions in digestion. They help break down large food molecules into smaller, absorbable nutrients that can be easily assimilated by the body.
What are enzymes considered?
Enzymes are considered to be catalysts; they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
Is the reactivity of copper with oxygen considered a chemical or physical property?
The correct spelling is "reaction of copper with...' 1. Chemical reactivity is a chemical property. 2. A chemical reaction involve a chemical change.
Do teeth cause a chemical reaction to take place?
Teeth themselves do not cause a chemical reaction. However, when food comes into contact with teeth, the process of digestion begins with enzymes in saliva breaking down the food molecules into smaller components. This can be considered a chemical reaction in the context of digestion.
When protein compounds are catalyzed what do they do to the chemical reaction during digestion?
Neutralize chemical reactions during digestion
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
When the saliva starts the digestion process what reaction is it?
It is both mechanical and chemical.
Is digesting a banana a chemical reaction or is it a reversible change?
Digestion involve chemical reactions, it is a chemical and mechanical process and is irreversible.
Reaction that break apart large molecules are involved in which type of digestion?
chemical
What chemical reaction helps break down food to get energy required?
This is the digestion process.
Is sawing a log chemical reaction?
No, that would probably be considered a physical change. It is only a chemical reaction its chemical makeup is changed.
What chemical speeds up the chemical reaction in digestion?
Enzymes are the chemical substances that speed up chemical reactions in digestion. They help break down large food molecules into smaller, absorbable nutrients that can be easily assimilated by the body.
What is the name of the chemical reaction that is also called digestion?
The chemical reaction that is also called digestion is called hydrolysis. In this process, water is used to break down complex molecules into simpler ones that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.
What are enzymes considered?
Enzymes are considered to be catalysts; they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
Could chemical digestion take place if mechanical digestion did not occur?
Mechanical digestion, i.e. your body breaking up the food into smaller pieces, is largely meant to speed chemical digestion up. We know that the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place is dependent on four things: the physical state of the reactants involved in the reaction, the temperature at which the reaction takes place, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst. Each influences the rate of reaction in different ways. Mechanical digestion breaks the food into smaller pieces, i.e. changes the physical state. With the larger pieces broken into smaller ones, more surface area is exposed. With greater surface area exposure, chemical digestion can take place much more rapidly. However, if for some reason you could get just huge chunks of food down your throat without chewing it, your stomach still churns (mechanical digestion) and the contractions in your intestines also help to break up food. So technically yes, chemical digestion would take place, but at a much slower and inefficient manner.
