Answer:

D. chemical digestion

Explanation:

In chemical digestion, large food molecules are broken down into smaller particles thanks to the action of enzymes present in the digestive juice, undergoing changes in their chemical composition.

Chemical digestion is a process that occurs with the action of enzymes. It starts in the mouth with the action of the enzyme amylase, which is present in saliva and digesting starch. In the stomach, there is the action of gastric juice, consisting of hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin, which acts on protein digestion.  In the small intestine, the food undergoes the action of substances produced by the pancreas (alkaline substance containing trypsin and chymotrypsin, enzymes that act on proteins) and by the liver (bile, which contains salts that act on the digestion of fat, is produced by liver but is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder).

How proteins are made​
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Proteins are an important class of molecules that carry out most of the work inside cells. The building blocks of proteins are smaller organic molecules called amino acids. Most organisms, including humans, use only 20 different amino acids to assemble the vast multitude of proteins needed to build and run a cell.

To build proteins, cells use a complex assembly of molecules called a ribosome. The ribosome assembles amino acids into the proper order and links them together via peptide bonds. This process, known as translation, creates a long string of amino acids called a polypeptide chain.  

After the polypeptide chain is synthesized, it will sometimes undergo additional processing. For example, some proteins will have certain amino acids removed. Or extra molecules such as sugars or phosphates may be attached to some of the amino acids in a protein.
