Question

Hi, I’m really confuse with the topic of digestive system!

Can anyone help me with describe and explain how food is digested ? Please also include chemical and physical digestion, including the type of enzymes too!

Thanks!!:)

Answer 1

Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down food substances into smaller particles to more efficiently undergo chemical digestion. The role of chemical digestion is to further degrade the molecular structure of the ingested compounds by digestive enzymes into a form that is absorbable into the bloodstream.
