Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Calories: Measure energy in food, not involved in breaking down food chemically.
• Enzymes: Biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in digestion, helping break down food.
• Teeth: Physically break down food (mechanical digestion), not chemical breakdown.
• Nutrients: Substances obtained from food, not agents of breakdown.
