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.

What substances does the enzymes in saliva change starch into?
it contains enzymes which break the starch down to sugar
Where is starch turned into glucose during the process of digestion?
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!
True or false digestion beings in your stomach?
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.
How does the digestion of fat in a strip of ham different from the digestion of starch in a piece of toast?
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)
What is the products of digestion of starch?
glucose.
Where does starch digestion begins?
In the mouth.
Does temperature effect starch digestion?
yes temperature affects starch digestion, amylase work harder and better at higher temperatures
What is the organ where the chemical digestion of starch begins?
I don't think of it as an organ, but chemical digestion of starch begins in the mouth, using saliva.
What happens in digestion?
In chemical Digestion, starch and fat are digested by the enzymes in saliva
