Question

Explain briefly the process of digestion

Answer 1

 - The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. In fact, digestion starts here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use.

Answer 2

Digestion is the process by which food is broken up in the alimentary canal and converted into a substance suitable for absorption and assimilation into the body.

There are two processes of digestion:-

1.Mechanical Digestion (by the action of teeth)
2.Chemical Digestion (by the action of enzymes)
