what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
Were does chemical digestion take place
When your body breaks down food into nutrients, chemical digestion is taking place. In contrast, physical digestion breaks down food mechanically into smaller particles.
Its a chemical change.
Long time ago when I studied this but I think you are looking at physical and chemical. Physical digestion is masticulation, chewing, crushing, grinding etc and takes place in the mouth. Chemical digestion is the breakdown of foods by substances such as bile acids etc. This process also starts in the mouth as saliva contains some digestive acids, but in the main part takes place in the large intestine.
In the duodenum
chemical digestion
Yes, chemical digestion can still take place even if mechanical digestion did not occur. Mechanical digestion helps break down food into smaller pieces, which can aid in the efficiency of the chemical digestion process by increasing the surface area for enzymes to work on. However, chemical digestion can still occur in the absence of mechanical digestion, but it may not be as effective.
Digestion of food is a combination of physical and chemical changes. Physical changes occur as food is broken down into smaller pieces through chewing and grinding. Chemical changes take place as enzymes in the digestive system break down food into simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
welll it takes place in both mechanical and chemical
In the Mouth then the second is the Stomach
chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine large intestine,mouth and stomach. Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and minerals in the large intestine.
