The correct answer is "mouth and stomach." Food is initially broken down in the mouth through the process of chewing and mixing it with saliva, which helps soften the food and initiate the digestion of carbohydrates. The food then passes through the esophagus and enters the stomach. In the stomach, the food is further broken down by stomach acid and digestive enzymes, preparing it for absorption in the small intestine. So, in summary, the food is broken down in the mouth and then in the stomach.
