Answer:

crust and outer part of the mantle

Explanation:

The lithosphere is the outermost part of the earth. It is a rocky layer, which varies in thickness in the mountainous regions and in the deep sea depths, formed by the crust (terrestrial and oceanic) and the outer part of the upper mantle.

The lithosphere (name comes from the Greek, lithos = stone, rock and sphaira = sphere) relates to the other layers, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the biosphere, undergoing many changes as a result of these. It is composed of minerals and rocks, which can be of three types: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

Earth's layers have different chemical compositions and temperatures, which favors the mantle being more liquid because there are very high temperatures, over 1000ºC. The crust is like a film, covering the surface of the planet, it is a very solid layer, while the mantle is more "plastic", that is, has a less rigid consistency.

The breakdown of food via enzymatic reactions is known as __________.
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I believe you're looking for "chemical digestion".

Chemical digestions is where food that we ate is digested into simpler and soluble molecules that can be absorbed by our body. Enzymes are used as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.

One example is the digestion of lipids. Enzyme named lipase is used to speed up the digestion of lipids into 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol. This way, our body can absorb these simple molecules, and use them in order to make our body function.

On the other hand, physical digestion does not include enzymes, such as chewing in our mouth, therefore, don't mix them up!
