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: -The chemical digestion of proteins begins in your stomach. Carbohydrate and lipid digestion continues in the stomach (lipids are the chemical components of fat). Your stomach releases gastric juices that begin to break down all of the food you’ve eaten.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most mechanical and some chemical digestion occur in the stomach. Mechanical digestion occurs as layers of muscle in the stomach lining contract to produce a mixing and churning motion. Chemical digestion is carried out by stomach juices that contain enzymes and hydrochloric acid.
