Breaking food down with the use of enzymes is known as:
A
Chemical Digestion
B
Physical Digestion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down food substances into smaller particles to more efficiently undergo chemical digestion. The role of chemical digestion is to further degrade the molecular structure of the ingested compounds by digestive enzymes into a form that is absorbable into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Food is chemically changed in digestion when new, smaller substances are formed. These chemical changes are examples of chemical digestion. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth when enzymes in saliva begin to break down carbohydrates. Most chemical changes in digestion occur in the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it’s broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that your body can easily absorb. This breakdown is known as chemical digestion.

Detailed explanation-4: -The large pieces of food that are ingested have to be broken into smaller particles that can be acted upon by various enzymes. This is mechanical digestion, which begins in the mouth with chewing or mastication and continues with churning and mixing actions in the stomach.

Detailed explanation-5: -This is the process where complex molecules like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are broken down into smaller pieces that your body can use. It requires special proteins called enzymes. Movements. There are many movements that keep food going through your digestive system.
