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!
The correct answer among the choices provided is option C. Water helps to maintain the structure, flexibility and motion of proteins. Hydration makes the protein structure more packed and stabilized. It is because water is included in many networks of hydrogen bonds.
For Gradualism, changes in species is slow and gradual, occurring in small periodic changes in the gene pool, whereas for Punctuated Equilibrium, evolution occurs in spurts of relatively rapid change with long periods of non-change
Xylem, which is a dead cell that carries water in only one direction: up
An ion. When it loses electons, a positive ion is formed. When it gains electons, a negative ion is formed.
