Question

How does food get broken down in the body

Answer 1

Answer/Explanation: Food is entered into the body via the mouth, where enzymes such as lysozyme begin to breakdown the food while it is chewed. When this food is broken down into smaller pieces it can then be swallowed, where it travels down the esophagus towards the stomach. The stomach then continues to break down the foodstuff.

Answer 2

Once foods are broken into small enough parts, your body can absorb and move the nutrients to where they are needed. Your large intestine absorbs water, and the waste products of digestion become stool.
