Solution

Digestion:

  1. Digestion is when the food ingested gets broken down into simpler substances so that every cell can consume the required amount of food.
  2. The digestion process begins from the mouth, which later passes to the hollow tube called the esophagus.
  3. Later the food is passed to the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, and the process is completed.
  4. Every organ performs a unique and important function in digestion.
  5. There are five steps in the digestion process: Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation, and Egestion.

Thus, the process of digestion starts in the mouth and finishes with the large intestine.
