Which organ help digest carbohydrate?

How do you spell saliver?
The correct spelling is "saliva" (digestive secretion of the mouth).
Were does the digestive system begin?

What macromolecule is chemically broken down in the mouth?
In the mouth, starch, a carbohydrate, is chemically broken down by the enzyme amylase found in saliva. This enzyme hydrolyzes starch into simpler sugars, such as maltose. The process begins during chewing, where food is mixed with saliva, facilitating the enzymatic action. However, the breakdown of proteins and fats begins later in the digestive system, primarily in the stomach and small intestine.
What digestive juice is made by glands in the mouth?

Chemical digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva from three pairs of salivary glands. Saliva contains the digestive enzyme salivary amylase.
How does digestive begin?
digestive begins in the mouth
Which of the following digestive functions can occur in the mouth A Enzymatic action on protein B Absorption of water C Enzymatic action on carbohydrates D Secretion of bile?
C. Your mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which will breakdown starches (carbohydrates). (Web and Textbook sources).
