process of breaking down food is called digestion. This is when insoluble foods breakdown into water-soluble foods. When digesting food energy turns from chemical energy to mechanical energy then to thermal energy. When this process is completed a chemical change has occurred. When you are active your body uses the chemical energy from the food to convert to mechanical energy in order for you to perform the actions needed to complete the task. During digestion your stomach releases heat changing mechanical
