What does the mouth do in the digestive?

The mouth makes the food more chewed up so that it can go down easier through the esophagus. The chemical processes in the stomach work better when the food is chewed and able to soak up the stomach acid. The mouth also secretes enzymes in the saliva to help break down starches that are in the food.

Body systems that use enzymes?

This is a really good question. However, I only know one system that uses enzymes, and that happens to be the digestive system. In your mouth,where the digestive system takes place, enzymes work together and forms a soft liquid chemical(saliva) that makes the chewed food slide easily down your esophagus. There are also enzymes that are resonsible for digesting fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Without the enzymes, we would all have trouble digesting. I hope this information will help!

Can gum dissolve?

Gum doesn't dissolve in the same way that many other substances do; instead, it can break down over time due to exposure to heat, moisture, and saliva. Chewing gum typically remains intact in the mouth and does not dissolve in water. However, certain ingredients in gum can be broken down by bacteria or enzymes in the digestive system, but the rubbery base of the gum remains largely unchanged. Ultimately, gum is designed to be chewed rather than dissolved.
