Technically the digestion of Carbohydrates is 'partly' completed in the MOUTH because Silva cotains Amylase (which breaks down Carbohydrates into compounds of sugars like Maltose for example) which allows the STOMACH to complete the digestive process with various different enzymes from the Pancreas and hydrochloric acid.
Therefore the answer when Carbs are 'completely' digested is in the STOMACH.
Isn't it in the rectum? Im confused!
carbs enter the duodenum in the partly digested form of dextrins and maltose. then they are further broken down into absorbable substances by the intestinal enzymes (maltase, sucrase, and lactase). so digestion in really completed in the small intestine... not the stomach.

∙ 9y agoThe mouth and stomach start digestion.
Mastication, grinding, acidification, and some enzymatic action (salivary amylase, pepsin, and lipase) happens up there.
The duodenum is where the digestion finishes. Enzymes from the pancreas including elastase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase A, carboxypeptidase B, and lipase break down molecules in the lumen of the duodenum. Carbohydrates that move close to the brush border are cleaved by isomaltase, maltase, and lactase.
Absorption occurs throughout the small intestine. Most of the absorption of fatty acids, amino acids, and sugars occurs in the duodenum. Sodium linked and hydrogen linked symporters aid sugars and amino acids in crossing the epithelial lining. Fatty acids are acidified in the acidic microclimate close to the surface of the epithelial cells and diffuse across the membrane.

What is the small intestine useful for?
The small intestine is useful for the Digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates contained in the foods you consume, is completed within the small intestine.
Chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins in this organ?
Mouth: in saliva there is this amylase enzym to break it down to sugar(s)
How is the chemical digestion of carbohydrates brought about?
Enzymes which are involved in the digestion of carbohydrates.
What organ is digestion completed through?
The final process of digestion is accomplished in the small intestine. In subsequent portions of the digestive tract, water is reabsorbed from undigested food waste.
Explain in detail the process of digestion and abosortion of carbohydrates?
explain digestion of carbohydrates
What is the name of the organ in the digestive system where the chemical breakdown of food primarily occurs?
Some chemical digestion of carbohydrates occurs in the mouth with salivary amylase. Most chemical digestion occurs in the duodenum of the small intestine.
Where digestion completed?
The digestion finishes at the Small intestine.
What does digestion break carbohydrates into?
Carbohydrates are sugar polymers, digestion breaks the polymer into its monomers, simple sugars like glucose.
How digestion takes place through carbohydrates?
That would be chemical digestion, because carbohydrates are molecules, therefore they are also chemicals.
Where are carbohydrates first digested in your bodies?
The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth.
Where is chemical digestion completed?
Chemical digestion starts in the mouth with the action of enzymes found in saliva. It is completed in the intestines.
Where does digestive completed?
Digestion is completed in the rectum where it is excreted out as faeces
