there are at least 2:
amylase (made in the pancreas) breaks carbohydrates into smaller molecules called maltose.
then another enzyme called maltase breaks down the maltose into individual molecules of glucose
Amylase works on starch (carbohydrates)
Protease works on proteins (like meat, fish etc)
Lipase works on lipids (fatty acids)
Hope this helps!! xx
the enzymatic digetion of carbohydrates starts in the mouth by the action of salivary amilase on it. 30% of carbohydrates are digested in the mouth.
Yes, there are enzymes in the mouth of humans that changes starches into sugars.
carbohydrates protein fats Actually, carbohydrates, protein, and fats are nutrients we need to be able to function. The most chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine.
The four main macromolecules are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. The digestion occurs in the lysosome of a cell.
Were does chemical digestion take place
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva in the mouth enables chemical digestion to take place before starch enters the stomach.
in the stroma of the chloroplasts
The digestion of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and of protein is so different, that when they are mixed in the stomach they interfere with the digestion of each other. An acid process (gastric digestion) and an alkaline process (salivary digestion) can not be carried on at the same time in an ideal way in the stomach. In fact, they cannot proceed together at all for long as the rising acidity of the stomach contents soon completely stops carbohydrate digestion and this is followed by fermentation.
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
mouth
digestion take place inside the vacoules
the intestine
In the Foot!
