Answer 2

Answer: The transformation of energy takes place both in the form of the physical change and chemical change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The food that is ingested from the mouth is broken down into smaller parts which is easily digested and absorbed by the body.

The digestion of food starts from the mouth by saliva. The saliva contains enzymes that helps in the digestion of the food.

The enzymes and pancreatic juices are also poured into the stomach which also helps in physical breakdown of food and chemical digestion of food.

There is a overall change in the chemical composition of food.
