Answer 2

The statement which is correct regarding the cooking of food and digestion of food is (2) Both are chemical processes.

Explanation:

• A chemical reaction is the transformation of one chemical substance into another chemical substance which leads to alteration in molecules chemically. It changes a substance's chemical composition.
• Cooking of food is a chemical change because it changes the composition of the ingredients completely. The raw vegetables put inside the food cannot be regained as they were earlier before cooking.
• Digestive enzymes break down food as it travels from our mouth to our digestive system, converting it into smaller nutrients that our bodies can easily absorb. Chemical digestion is the term for this process. Furthermore, the food that has been digested cannot be returned to its original state. Hence, digestion is also a chemical process.
