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: -The main chemical digestion processes in the stomach occurs through the action of gastric juices. Gastric juice contains the enzyme pepsin (secreted as pepsinogen), which hydrolyses the chemical breakdown of proteins.
