Accepted Answer

In the mouth, the teeth mash the mango while saliva starts breaking it down; in the stomach, the food is mixed with strong acid that churns it into a soup; in the small intestine, the walls pull out the nutrients and send them into the blood.

Answer

In the mouth, the teeth chew the mango and saliva does nothing; in the stomach, the food is mixed with water only; in the small intestine, the food is turned into waste.

Answer

In the mouth, the food is swallowed whole; in the stomach, teeth continue chewing and acid is added; in the small intestine, the stomach’s acid is absorbed.

Answer

In the mouth, saliva turns the mango into sugar; in the stomach, the food is stored without any mixing; in the small intestine, the large intestine absorbs the nutrients.
