Mechanical the breakdown of food into smaller pieces wihtout chemical
Digestion change to the food molecules
Chemical the breakdown of large insoluable molecules into small soluable
Digestion molecules
Absorption the movement of digested food molecules through the wall of the
intestine into the blood
Assimilation the movement of digested food molecules into the cells of the
body where they are used, becoming part of the cells

through the anus
Digestive enzymes are chemicals that break down large insoluavle food
molecules into smaller soluble molecules
