Answer:

Chemical digestion of food starts in the mouth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This begins with saliva. This saliva acts as a digestive juice so the food can move more easily through the esophagus into the stomach. Also, saliva has an enzyme that begins to break starches in the food. Hope this helped :)
