The answer is False. While the stomach plays a crucial role in the process of digestion, it is not the main site of digestion. Digestion begins in the mouth with the physical and chemical breakdown of food through chewing and the release of saliva containing enzymes like amylase. From there, the partially digested food enters the stomach, where it is further broken down by the action of stomach acid and digestive enzymes. However, the majority of digestion actually takes place in the small intestine. It is in the small intestine where the majority of nutrient absorption occurs, and where enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder are released to further break down and digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. So, in summary, while the stomach is an important organ in the digestive process, it is not the main site of digestion.

Answer 10

A lot of the digestion process does take place in the stomach but all of the other parts of the digestive process together make up more than that of just the stomach. Although the stomach is the spot where the greatest amount of digestion takes place if you go by the different parts involved in the process. Does that make sense?
