Ad1 Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breaking down of food into smaller components‚ to a form that can be absorbed‚ for instance‚ into a blood stream. Digestion is a form of catabolism; a break down of macro food molecules to smaller ones. The digestive process also involves creating waste to be eliminated. The digestive track (gut) is a long twisting tube that starts in the mouth and ends at anus. It’s made up of a series of muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that
