the intestine
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva in the mouth enables chemical digestion to take place before starch enters the stomach.
Starch is broken down in the mouth, by salivary amylase; and in the small intestine, by pancreatic amylase.
Hydrolysis of starch starts in our buccal cavity through action of enzyme salivary amylase which convert starch in to Maltose +Isomaltose and limitdextrines as disaccharides. further digestion of srarch take place in small intestine through action of amylase presentr in secretions of pancreatic and intestinal glands of our alimentry canal.
The digestion of starch begins in the mouth during mastication. The ptyalin enzyme (an amylase) converts the starch to sugar .
Stomach
Were does chemical digestion take place
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)
digestion of starch starts when food enters the mouth. our mouth has saliva which contain enzyme called ptyalin (salivary amylase) which converts starch into peptones & peptides.
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
glucose.
In the mouth.
yes temperature affects starch digestion, amylase work harder and better at higher temperatures
