    The document discusses digestion, which involves the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by cells. Mechanical digestion involves physical changes to food through chewing, tearing, and grinding. Chemical digestion uses digestive enzymes to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids into their basic components. Digestion occurs through ingestion, movement through the digestive tract, digestion in various organs, absorption of nutrients, and further digestion in other organs.

    DIGESTION
    DIGESTION
    • The chemical break down of complex biological
    molecules in to their component parts
    - Lipid to fatty acids
    - Protein to individual amino acids
    -Carbohydrates into simple sugar
    Mechanical digestion
    • Changes the physical form of food
    -Chew
    -Tear
    -Grind
    -Mash
    -Mix
    Chemical digestion
    • changes the chemical composition of food with the
    aid of digestive enzymes
    -carbohydrates
    -protein
    -lipid
    • Digestive enzymes are special protein that help
    break up large molecules that can be absorbed and
    used by the cell in the form of nutrition
    FUNCTION
    • Ingest food
    • Produces various chemicals to break down the food
    • Filter out harmful substances
    • Get rid of solid waste
    PHASES OF DIGESTION

    • Ingestion
    • Movement
    • Digestion
    • Absorption
