Question

Teeth help to break down large pieces of food into lots of smaller pieces suggest how this can help enzymes to digest the food faster

Answer 1

now here saliva breaks down starch into sugars

so therefore it helps

Answer 2

Digestion of food involves both physical and chemical processes. Through digestion, large food particles are converted into smaller components that can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream.

Food is taken into the mouth where it is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. As the teeth grip, cut and chew the food, saliva is released and mixes with the smaller food particles. Saliva moistens and lubricates the food, allowing it to be worked into a small ball called a bolus, which can then be easily swallowed.

This mechanical work on the food not only greatly increases its surface area but also allows it to be mixed with a digestive enzyme present in saliva.
