Classify the following as definitions or examples of chemical digestion or mechanical digestion. Because of the nature of this process, some choices will be used more than once. Other choices may not be used at all

a. Chemical digestion

b. Mechanical digestion

1. Salivary glands produce an important substance for this type

2. Begins with chewing Involves the teeth and tongue

3. Breaks down starch, protein carbohydrates, fats, and nucleic acids

4. Gastric glands produce important substances for this type

5. Takes place in the mouth

6. Takes place in the large intestine

7. Takes place in the stomach

8. Takes place in the esophagus

9. Requires pankreatic juices and enzymes produced by the wall of the small intestine

10. Takes place in the small intestine

Mechanical digestion:Begins with chewing Involves the teeth and tongue

Chemical digestion: Breaks down starch, protein carbohydrates, fats, and nucleic acids. Salivary glands produce an important substance for this type

Requires pancreatic juices and enzymes produced by the wall of the small intestine

Explanation:

Mechanical digestion starts in the mouth, it involves the breaking down of food into smaller particles.

Chemical digestion involves the breaking down of food into nutrients component that can be absorbable and used by the body cells.

It begins when the food mix with saliva in the mouth.

Chemical digestion starts from the mouth as the food mixes with saliva, Carbohydrate is been digested in the mouth while protein digestion takes place in the stomach. The pancreas produces important enzyme needed for digestion in the stomach.
