Answer:
Absorption of food into the body takes place through a few steps:
1- Food is chewed in the mouth and broken down into smaller pieces with teeth.
2- In the mouth, an enzyme amylase secreted by salivary glands converts carbohydrates into small units such as starch.
3- When food is passed on to the stomach its consists of fats and proteins.
4- In the stomach, gastric acid breaks down the protein molecules with the help of pepsin.
5- Partially digested food reaches down to the small intestine.
6- In the small intestine, the gall bladder is present that releases bile juice and reduces the size of fat molecules into fatty acids.
