Digestion
Digestion- chemical and mechanical breakdown of large insoluable molecules into smaller soluable molecules which can be absorbed in the blood.
Food must be broken down into its building blocks before absorption.
Enzymes speed up digestion; they are biological catalysts. Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of food in the oral cavity when we chew.
