MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL DIGESTION CLOSE READING ISA
Directions: Read the paragraph below. Use textual evidence to answer the following questions 1-5. Write your
answers on the loose-leaf below.
Digestion is the process in which food is broken down into nutrients. This occurs as a result of mechanical and chemical
digestion. In mechanical digestion, large pieces of food are broken down into small pieces. It begins in the mouth and involves
physical processes, such as chewing. Mechanical digestion continues in the stomach as the food is mixed with digestive juices as
a result of peristalsis. In chemical digestion, large food molecules are broken down into small nutrient molecules. This process
begins in the mouth due to an enzyme in saliva and continues in the stomach and small intestine as more enzymes further
chemically digest the food.
Questions:
1. Describe what occurs to food that is being mechanically digested. 4. Describe what occurs to food that is being chemically digested.
2. Identify the process that mechanically digests food in the mouth. 5. Identify the chemical that chemically digests food.
3. Identify the process that mechanically digests food in the stomach.
