Answer 2

The primary type of reaction involved in the 'digestion of a meal' by the 'digestive system' is a decomposition reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The food that is digested by the 'digestive system' gets decomposed or broken into smaller units.

• The process of digestion involves the 'breakdown' of 'large insoluble food molecules' to smaller soluble molecules.

• The digestive system makes use of chemical as well as mechanical reactions to 'break down the food' so that it can be digested by the body easily.
