Answer:

Chemical digestion breaks down different nutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, into even smaller parts:

  • Fats break down into fatty acids and monoglycerides.

  • Nucleic acids break down into nucleotides.

Polysaccharides, or carbohydrate sugars, break down into monosaccharides.

Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and duodenum in which 3 main enzymes, pepsin secreted by the stomach and trypsin and chymotrypsin secreted by the pancreas, break down food proteins into polypeptides that are then broken down by various exopeptidases and dipeptidases into amino acids.
