Protein Digestion
Protein digestion is how your body breaks down meat, eggs, and beans into tiny parts it can use.
Think of it this way
A whole chicken breast sits in a large bowl. Scissors snip it into smaller chunks, then a knife cuts those chunks into tiny bits. The tiny bits pass through small holes in the bowl's bottom into a tray below. The tray holds only the small pieces — the ones your body can actually use.
Explaining protein digestion by grade level
Think about eating a piece of chicken. Your stomach has strong juice inside it. That juice breaks the chicken into very small bits. Those bits are so tiny they can move through your body and help you grow.
