Question
Chapter 33.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The similarities between digestion in animals and breakdown of gasoline in an automobile.
Introduction:
Digestion is a process of breaking down larger food particles into smaller food particles. Digestion is of two types: mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion is chewing of food in mouth and smooth muscle contraction in stomach, whereas chemical digestion involves hydrolysis of macromolecules into smaller particles. The food that is hydrolyzed is absorbed by the body and the waste is eliminated in the form of feces.
