Answer:

Chemical digestion actually starts in the mouth when our saliva mixes in with the food. So, A. wouldn't really be correct. It's not the molars that are doing the chewing, but rather your jaw muscels. I don't even know what pepsin is... <u>C. would probably be your best bet because it's your saliva that breaks down your food and helps you chew it.</u> And D. your tongue just helps to move the food around...
