Explanation
This problem is asking for the initial place within the digestive system where the process of digestion starts. The digestive system revolves around the breakdown of large pieces of food into the smaller molecules that can be taken up by the cells. The act of eating is the beginning of this process, but the where the actual digestion starts within that system must be based on where the first processing happens biologically.
