False I’m pretty sure, because most of it occurs in the first part of the small intestine called duodenum.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The small intestine is the site of most chemical digestion and almost all absorption. Chemical digestion breaks large food molecules down into their chemical building blocks, which can then be absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the general circulation.
