Solution

The correct option is A True
Food is chemically digested by enzymes. Once food has been broken down, the nutrients are sent into the bloodstream. Food undergoes many chemical changes before being absorbed by the body. Hence, digestion of food is a chemical change as the complex substances that we eat is changed into simpler substances.
