When the bread and butter is in mouth, mechanical digestion starts. The size of the food gets reduced and it mixes with saliva for easy swallowing. The salivary amylase in saliva begins the digestion of starch in the bread. This is the start of chemical digestion. When the undigested bread and butter reached the stomach, lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allow the chewed food to enter. The gastric secretions containing HCl, acts on the undigested food to produce chime. HCl kill the microorganism on the food and also denatures the protein and later attacked by digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin breakdown protein in the bread, butter . Later on gastric lipase begins to digest fat present in butter. Digestion of the starch in bread does not occur in the stomach because the salivary amylase that began chemical digestion in mouth became inactive in the presence of HCl. Further the chime enters the small intestine where bile secreted by the gall bladder emulsifies the fat and break into small globule which helps in fat absorption.

Explain with examples of each, how both physical and chemical weathering, along with erosion, can change Earth's surface.
Lena [83]

Answer:

Both physical and chemical weathering, along with erosion, can change Earth's surface as physical weathering allows breakdown of rock into smaller pieces, these pieces can be move from one place to another through water, wind or ice (erosion), and when the smaller pieces will settle down at a place, rain water can react with the soil or smaller rock pieces to form rock minerals.

For example: Running water, wind, and rapid heating/cooling allows the rocks to break down into smaller pieces or grains (physical weathering), then the small grains are transported and settled away from the source area through wind or river (erosion), and at the end the surface area exposed to air  for chemical weathering.
