A food processor divides a piece of food into many smaller pieces before the food is eaten. Enzymes digest food molecules in the gut.
Which explains why dividing the food into smaller pieces makes digestion by enzymes faster?
The smaller pieces of food fit into the enzymes' active sites more easily
The blades break the bonds inside the food molecules
A greater area of food is exposed for the enzymes to work on
The smaller pieces of food can be absorbed into the blood without digestion
