Starch is simply a carbohydrate or sugar. It is found in two forms: amylopectin and amylose. Both of these are polymers of glucose with α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. In humans, enzymes help break these down into single monomers of glucose and then are fed into glycolysis for many cells. After going through the glycolysis and the rest of cellular respiration, the body ends up harnessing the energy of breaking down this glucose into ATP , which functions as the major energy currency of a cell.
Starches begin to be digested in the mouth. Once it goes through the body, it gets absorbed into the small intestines.
maltose. Learnt this is a reflexology. Maltose is a side kick of sugar
Saccharides such as maltose.

glucose
Chemical digestion of the starch starts in the mouth. Ptylin is the enzyme, which is secreted in the saliva. Ptylin breaks down the starch. This process continue in the stomach till acid neutralize the ptylin.
it contains enzymes which break the starch down to sugar
It doesn't ---------------------------------------- Not sure where that guy ^ got his information, but in Biology 11 you learn that it DOES. Starch is turned to glucose during chemical digestion, and it begins in the mouth. ---------------------------------------- I'm in year 9 and I know that!
False. Digestion (at least starch digestion) begins in your mouth. Saliva helps begin the break-down process as you chew. Chewing is also a means of the start of the breakdown process of food going into your GI tract.
The digestion of fat will begin in the small intestine, whereas the digestion of starch which begin in the mouth (the mouth contains the enzyme amylase, which helps break down starch)
glucose.
In the mouth.
yes temperature affects starch digestion, amylase work harder and better at higher temperatures
I don't think of it as an organ, but chemical digestion of starch begins in the mouth, using saliva.
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
The digestion of starch begins in the mouth during mastication. The ptyalin enzyme (an amylase) converts the starch to sugar .
the intestine
