Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical digestion in the stomach occurs through the enzyme that was released in the mouth. It is still present and working to break down the carbohydrates. The stomach provides further chemical breakdown through the use of acids. The main acid present in the stomach is gastric acid.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pancreas makes enzymes that help digest proteins, fats, and carbs. It also makes a substance that neutralizes stomach acid. These enzymes and bile travel through special pathways (called ducts) into the small intestine, where they help to break down food. The liver also helps process nutrients in the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-3: -The glands in the stomach lining produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein. Pancreas. The pancreas produces a juice containing several enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food.
