As soon as you put the food in your mouth. Your saliva has amylase in it which is a carbohydrase, ie, it breaks down complicated carbohydrates, such as starch, into simple sugars, such as glucose.

What organs secrete enzymes which begin chemical digestion in the mouth?
The salivary glands in the mouth secrete enzymes in saliva that begin chemical digestion.
Enzyme associated with the mouth?
The primary enzyme in human saliva is amylase and serves to break down complex starches like the carbohydrates that would be found in a cracker for example, into more simple sugars to begin the process of chemical digestion.
Are there 3 types of digestion utilized by the digestive system?
Not sure what you mean by '3 types of digestion', but there are three major food groups (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), and each has a different method of digestion by the digestive system.
The secretions of the salivary gland begin the digestion of?
The salivary glad produces amylase. It is an enzyme that primarily functions to digest starches. Amylase is also produces in the pancreas.
Respiration of carbohydrates begins in the?
mitochondriaIt starts with glycolisis. Glycolisis takes place in the cytoplasm
How is the chemical digestion of carbohydrates brought about?
Enzymes which are involved in the digestion of carbohydrates.
Explain in detail the process of digestion and abosortion of carbohydrates?
explain digestion of carbohydrates
Does saliva mix with food to moiston it?
Yes, it does. In fact, saliva is used to begin the digestion process in foods like carbohydrates.
Why does carbohydrate digestion begin in mouth?
Because saliva contains an enzyme (amalyse) which breaks down carbohydrates into their component sugars.
Digestion does not begain until food enters the stomach?
That would be incorrect. Digestion begins in the mouth, when the saliva starts to break up carbohydrates and the teeth start grinding up the food. However, protein digestion does begin in the stomach.
Where does carbohydrates begin?
Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth, where saliva and chewing both start to digest those kinds of foods.Mouth, saliva contains the enzyme amylase which breaks down sugars (carbohydrates)
The digestion of startch begins in the?
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva in the mouth enables chemical digestion to take place before starch enters the stomach.
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 does carbohydrate digestion begin?
Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth, where saliva and chewing both start to digest those kinds of foods.Mouth, saliva contains the enzyme amylase which breaks down sugars (carbohydrates)
Where are carbohydrates first digested in your bodies?
The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth.
The main chemical of the stomach is to begin the digestion of?
to begin the digestion of proteins
