there are at least 2:
amylase (made in the pancreas) breaks carbohydrates into smaller molecules called maltose.
then another enzyme called maltase breaks down the maltose into individual molecules of glucose
Yes, there are enzymes in the mouth of humans that changes starches into sugars.
carbohydrates protein fats Actually, carbohydrates, protein, and fats are nutrients we need to be able to function. The most chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine.
Were does chemical digestion take place
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva in the mouth enables chemical digestion to take place before starch enters the stomach.
Macromolecule digestion primarily takes place in organelles called lysosomes within the cell. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell for energy or building new molecules.
The digestion of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and of protein is so different, that when they are mixed in the stomach they interfere with the digestion of each other. An acid process (gastric digestion) and an alkaline process (salivary digestion) can not be carried on at the same time in an ideal way in the stomach. In fact, they cannot proceed together at all for long as the rising acidity of the stomach contents soon completely stops carbohydrate digestion and this is followed by fermentation.
what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
The enzymatic reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts in plant cells. This is where the enzymes responsible for the fixation of carbon dioxide and the production of sugars are located.

digestion take place inside the vacoules
In the duodenum
