There are several differences:

1) In the stomach proteins are broken down into amino acids. In the intestine, fats break down to fatty carboxylic acids and glycerin.

2) In the stomach, food is digested due to hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The ducts of the liver and pancreas open into the intestine.

3) Substances are poorly absorbed from the stomach, since it is smooth from the inside. There are a lot of special villi in the intestines, which are created to absorb nutrients into the blood.

4) All food is mainly digested in the stomach. Clots enter the intestines, from which the necessary substances are simply sucked out.
