As food passes through the digestive system, it undergoes physical and chemical digestion, which involves some of the processes listed below:

1 Polysaccharides are broken down into disaccharides by salivary amylase.
2 Trypsin and chymotrypsin digest polypeptides into amino acids.
3 Pepsin digests proteins into small polypeptides.
4 Chyme is produced when food is broken down into smaller pieces and mixed with digestive juices.

List the order in which these physical and chemical processes occur as food passes through the digestive system is:

Thank you!!!

Either one of these works:

1. Polysaccharides are broken down into disaccharides by salivary amylase

2. Chyme is produced when food is broken down into smaller pieces and mixedwith digestive juices

3. Pepsin digests proteins into small polypeptides

4. Trypsin and chymotrypsin act upon polypeptides

OR
