Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chemical digestion stops in the
A
Mouth
B
Stomach
C
Small intestine
D
Large intestine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The majority of chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine. Digested chyme from the stomach passes through the pylorus and into the duodenum. Here, chyme will mix with secretions from both the pancreas and the duodenum. Mechanical digestion will still occur to a minor extent as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical digestion takes place throughout your digestive tract. Chemical digestion begins in your mouth with your saliva. The process continues in your stomach and is completed in your small intestine. The majority of chemical digestion takes place in your small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine is the site of most chemical digestion and almost all absorption. Chemical digestion breaks large food molecules down into their chemical building blocks, which can then be absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the general circulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The small intestine is a major site for chemical digestion and absorption of key food components, such as amino acids, peptides, and glucose for energy. There are lots of enzymes released in the small intestine and from the nearby pancreas for digestion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some chemical digestion takes place in the mouth and stomach, but most of it occurs in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
