Pepsin does not digest. It breaks down proteins into amino acids. Pepsin cannot break down starch. This is probably because the pH of starch is higher than the optimum pH of Pepsin.
No, starch is easier to digest.
Amylase digests starch
It does not digest starch faster. The saliva produced before the meal will have a longer time to prepare.
Starch doesn't digest saliva. The enzyme in saliva digests starch.

Amylase
Yes, humans can digest starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that is broken down by enzymes in the digestive system into simpler sugars that can be absorbed by the body for energy.
Starch! We have amylases to digest them!!
Yes, humans can effectively digest starch. Starch is broken down into simpler sugars by enzymes in the digestive system, allowing the body to absorb and use the energy from starch-containing foods.
