Answer:

Mechanical digestion:Begins with chewing Involves the teeth and tongue

Chemical digestion: Breaks down starch, protein carbohydrates, fats, and nucleic acids. Salivary glands produce an important substance for this type

Requires pancreatic juices and enzymes produced by the wall of the small intestine

Explanation:

Mechanical digestion starts in the mouth, it involves the breaking down of food into smaller particles.

Chemical digestion involves the breaking down of food into nutrients component that can be absorbable and used by the body cells.

It begins when the food mix with saliva in the mouth.

Chemical digestion starts from the mouth as the food mixes with saliva, Carbohydrate is been digested in the mouth while protein digestion takes place in the stomach. The pancreas produces important enzyme needed for digestion in the stomach.
