Saliva
Where are carbohydrates first digested in your bodies?
The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth.
What is the breakdown and processing of complex carbohydrates in animals?
Digestion
Chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins here?
mouth
Which enzyme is produced by the salivary glands and begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates?
amylase
Complex carbohydrates that cannot be digested but aid in digestion?
cellulose and insoluble fibers
Respiration of carbohydrates begins in the?
mitochondriaIt starts with glycolisis. Glycolisis takes place in the cytoplasm
Where does digestion of cereal Begin?
Digestion of cereal begins in the mouth. Mastication--chewing--breaks down the food. Saliva begins to break down carbohydrates contained in cereal grains. Digestion of cereal along with the milk continues in the stomach and small intestines.
In what form are carbohydrates absorbed?
Carbohydrates are digested until they are mono or disaccharides and then they are absorbed through the intestinal lining.
The digestion of startch begins in the?
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva in the mouth enables chemical digestion to take place before starch enters the stomach.
Chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins in this organ?
Mouth: in saliva there is this amylase enzym to break it down to sugar(s)
A mutation in the genes for salivary amylase will greatly affect the chemical digestion of what?
Amylase is responsible for the digestion of starches in the body. If a mutation occurred in the genes coding for the production of amylase, this would interfere with the body's ability to digest starches and other complex carbohydrates (which begins in the mouth with enzymes from the salivary glands).
