What Is Chemical Digestion?

Chemical digestion refers to the chemical decomposition of food by the digestive glands secreted by the digestive glands. Various digestive enzymes secreted by the digestive glands break down complex nutrients into simple compounds that can be absorbed by the intestinal wall. For example, sugars are divided into monosaccharides, proteins are broken down into amino acids, and lipids are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids.

Right!

Chemical digestion refers to the chemical decomposition of food by the digestive glands secreted by the digestive glands. Various digestive enzymes secreted by the digestive glands break down complex nutrients into simple compounds that can be absorbed by the intestinal wall. For example, sugars are divided into monosaccharides, proteins are broken down into amino acids, and lipids are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids.

These decomposed nutrients are then absorbed into the body by the small intestine (mainly the jejunum), into the blood and lymph fluid.

Chemical digestion .

Chemical digestion mainly depends on digestive enzymes (refer to digestive enzyme drugs: Mitec, multi-enzyme tablets, yeast, etc.) to complete.

Chemical digestion accelerates food decomposition and improves mechanical digestion, which is a necessary condition for the ultimate absorption of food.
