Where does carbohydrate digestion begin and how does this digestion occur?
Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well
Chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins here?
mouth
Is the starch in potato is changed into simpler sugars by enzymes in the digestive system a chemical or physical?
Potatoes are mostly starch, a type of carbohydrate. Your stomach only initiates the digestion of proteins and does not digest carbohyrates or fats. When carbohydrates are digested, it occurs in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestines. Here they undergo both chemical and physical changes. The digestion of carbohydrates begin in the mouth with the secretion of salivary amylase. The physcial digestion is considered to be mechanical at this point and is produced by chewing (masticating) your potatoes.
Does blood carry starch around the body?
No, blood does not carry starch around the body. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that is broken down into glucose in the digestive system and then absorbed into the bloodstream for transport to cells where it can be used for energy.
Where does saliva digest?
Saliva digests carbohydrate. Saliva contains a carbohydrase enzyme called amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates. Amylase is also produced later on in the digestive system and so the amylase here is immaginatively termed salivary amylase.Saliva contains the enzyme amylase (here it is called called salivary amylase) which is responsible for part of the digestion of carbohydrates like starch.
