Definition:-

Mechanical Digestion: Mechanical digestion refers to the break down of food into digestible particles, mainly by the teeth.

Chemical Digestion: Chemical digestion refers to the process by which compounds with a high molecular weight in the food are broken down into small substances that can be absorbed by the body.

Occurrence:-

Mechanical Digestion: Mechanical digestion occurs from the mouth to the stomach.

Chemical Digestion: Chemical digestion occurs from the mouth to the intestine.

Major Part:-

Mechanical Digestion: A major part of mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth.

Chemical Digestion: A major part of chemical digestion occurs in the stomach.

Driven by:-

Mechanical Digestion: Mechanical digestion is driven by teeth.

Chemical Digestion: Chemical digestion is driven by enzymes.

Mechanism:-

Mechanical Digestion: The mechanical breakdown of large food particles into small food particles occur in the mechanical digestion.

Chemical Digestion: The chemical breakdown of compounds with high molecular weights into low molecular weight compounds occurs in the chemical digestion.

Answer:

Compare Mechanical and Chemical Digestion.

  • Mechanical digestion involves the breaking the food physically into the small pieces.
  • Chemical Digestion involves breaking down the food into simpler nutrients.
  • Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth as the food is chewed.
  • Where as the Chemical Digestion begins when the food mixes with saliva in mouth.
  • Mechanical digestion helps in the digestion of food.
  • And the Chemical Digestion helps in making of Cells by the nutrients taking from food.
