Detailed explanation-1: -Four examples of chemical digestion are amylase in the saliva, hydrochloric acid in the stomach, pepsin in the stomach, and lipase in the small intestine. Amylase is an enzyme in the saliva that begins the process of digestion in the body. It breaks down carbohydrates into their monomers, monosaccharides.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical digestion in the stomach is carried out by acid and enzymes. Gastric acid is the acid in the stomach that breaks the bonds in proteins and vegetables. Pepsin breaks protein down into protein components.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases. From your stomach, these smaller chains of amino acids move into your small intestine.
