I'm trying to discover the digestion of a ham sandwich with ham as the protein, the bread as the carbohydrates, lettuce as the fiber, and mayo as a fat. Where and how does each food item go through in digestion? Like, to start off, the mouth and the salivary and amalase etc, where does digestion begin for each food item?

thanks:)
Do all of the food digest together or seperately? sorry Face with Stuck-out Tongue

digestion starts when you first chew your food. Your breaking it down into a smaller size.

haha i have to do this too.
its 2 am rite now and i have a test on this in the afternoon

but this is what i got so far:
amylase partly breaks down the bread (a starch)
it goes through the esophagus and into the stomach
protein (the ham) is digested in the stomach
it all gets digested in the small intestine
water is taken out from the chyme in the large intestine
the finished waste comes out the anus


thats a really basic version and it might be wrong though

good luck with that tho
