YOSHE-BIOLOGY-animal survival-mechanical breakdown of food

The process of animal survival involves the mechanical breakdown of food, which is primarily facilitated by different types of teeth. These teeth vary among omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores, each adapted to their specific dietary needs.

teeth

tooth decay
flurides in toothpaste strengthen the enamel and make it more resistant to acid
bacteria change your food to acid, which attacks the enamel
caused by bacteria in your mouth mixing with saliva to from plaque

herbivores

molar-for chewing and grinding

premolar-used for chewing and grinding

gap-no canines present

canine-for holding and piercing prey

incisor-for biting

omnivores

molars-grind and chew food

premolars-also chew up food

canines-to tear food

incisor-to bite food

how food is broken down

2 steps
chemical breakdown by enzymes eg-starch(insoluble) >enzymes> glucose(soluble)
mechanical breakdown by teeth
food is broken down into smaller soluble particles that can pass from the small intestine into the bloodstream
