    A) The chemical equation shows the breakdown of glucose (C6H10O5) into methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the presence of water. B) Digestion begins in the mouth through chewing, which is aided by saliva from salivary glands. The majority of digestion occurs in the small intestine where chyme from the stomach mixes with secretions from the pancreas and duodenum. C) Digestion is the process by which an organism breaks down food through heat, enzymes, or solvents to extract nutrients that can be absorbed and used for energy and cell growth and maintenance.

    A) C6H10O5+H2O  3CH4+3CO2

    B) The digestive process starts in our mouth as we chew. Our salivary glands make saliva, a digestive
    juice that contains enzyme, which moistens food so it moves more easily through our esophagus into
    our stomach. Though, the majority of digestion happens in the small intestine. Digested chyme from the
    stomach passes through the pylorus and into the duodenum. Here, chyme will mix with the secretions
    from both the pancreas and the duodenum.

    C) Digestion is the process of treating a substance by means of heat, enzymes, or a solvent to promote
    decomposition or extract essential components. It is responsible for breaking down food into smaller
    molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them throughout the body.

    D) I can relate this to people because we, humans, require food as it is the source of nutrients. Digestion
    is one way humans can take nutrients into their body and gain energy to use for the entire day.
