Explanation:
Digestion Process
The digestion process is a series of reactions of food with the digestive hormones and juices. This starts right from the oral cavity.
Why is digestion important?
It is an important process that breaks down the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals into simpler forms so that it can be absorbed easily into the body cells. During this process, proteins are converted into amino acids, carbohydrates are converted into simple sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
Many digestive enzymes and hormones act on food, at various stages during the process of digestion. The whole process occurs in a sequential manner.
