What digestive juice only acts on carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates: Salivary amylase - enzyme in the saliva which breaks starch and complex chains down. Pancreatic amylase - enzyme produced in the pancreas which reduces carbs to disaccharides. Intestinal amylase - enzyme produced in the intestine of the small intestine that finalises breakdown into glucose. Protein: Pepsin - enzyme in the stomach that reduces protein into polypeptides Pancreatic trypsin and protease - enzymes that finalises breakdown of polypeptides into amino acids to be absorbed. Lipids (Fats): Bile - NOT an enzyme - produced in the liver to emulsify (break into smaller pieces) fat into smaller droplets Pancreatic lipase - enzyme that finalises breakdown of fat into fatty acids and glycerol.

Mechanical digestion is the same thing as chewing, or mastication. It does not need any digestive juices, because that is considered chemical digestion. Chemical digestion in the mouth during chewing is mainly by the aid of saliva which has, among other enzymes, salivary amylase which initiates carbohydrate digestion.

In the digestive system, digestion starts in your mouth. Your teeth grind your food into small pieces. Your digestive juices can only work on the outside of food. by grinding food into small pieces, it gives your food a whole lot more area for your digestive juices to work on.
