Why is chemical digestion required for most animals (as opposed to just mechanical digestion)? Macromolecules remaining from mechanical digestion are not small enough to be absorbed into cells The macromolecules in food are the same as those found in the animal but need chemical modification Chemical digestion increases the surface area of foods. Mechanical digestion only creates macromolecules that are water soluble
