After food he leave stomach where does it goes?

After the stomach performs the first dissolving of food with hydrochloric acid, and absorbs ethanol, the partially broken-down food passes through the duodenum and is mixed with bile. A small amount of nutrient absorption occurs there. The mixture goes on to the longest part of the small intestine, called the jejunum, where most nutrient absorption takes place. Then, the mix moves on to the large intestine (colon), where water absorption takes place. After the colon squeezes out most of the water, the mix moves through the rectal canal and out of the body.

Why a different enzyme is required for each type of food substance?

Different enzymes are required for each type of food substance because enzymes are specific in their action and can only catalyze reactions involving specific substrates. Each enzyme has a unique active site that can only bind to specific molecules, allowing for the breakdown of different types of food substances. This specificity ensures that the enzymes can efficiently break down complex molecules into simpler forms for absorption and utilization by the body.
