What else can I help you with?
Three pairs of enzyme-rich glands produce .?
Salivary amylase in the mouth, gastric lipase in the stomach, and pancreatic amylase and lipase in the small intestine. These enzymes help in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats throughout the digestive system.
Does saliva contain lipase?
Yes, saliva does contain a small amount of lipase enzyme that helps to break down fats in the mouth during digestion. However, the majority of fat digestion occurs in the small intestine where more lipase enzymes are present.
Where does chemicl digestion occur?
in the mouth (saliva) in the stomach (stomach acid)
Does saliva move food into the stomach?
Saliva is used to start the digestion process.
The digestion of startch begins in the?
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva in the mouth enables chemical digestion to take place before starch enters the stomach.
What breaks up fat during digestion?
Various lipases break up fat. Some produced by the tongue (lingual lipase), a little lipase by the stomach but most by the pancreas (pancreatic lipase). Bile helps to break down fat into little pieces so that the lipases in the small intestine have more surface area to work on.
Saliva pre-digestion through ezymes in saliva is chemical change?
The first chemical change that happens in the body in regards to digestion, the breakdown of foodstuffs, occurs in the stomach. The saliva breakdown would be a physical change.
Which organ does mechanical and chemical digestion begin?
mechanical digestion is when you are breaking down food almost by hand. you're breaking it down manually. an example of mechanical digestion is chewing. it begins in your mouth and ends once you swallow.
What are three words that name things that help in digestion?
Saliva, amylase, mechanical and chemical digestion, muscles, mucus, stomach acid.
Enzyme in saliva?
The main enzyme in saliva is amylase, which helps break down carbohydrates like starch into simpler sugars to start the digestion process. Amylase is produced by salivary glands and aids in the initial digestion of food in the mouth before it travels to the stomach.
What are all of the organs used in digestion?
mouth - saliva stomach small intestine large intestine
Digestion does not begain until food enters the stomach?
That would be incorrect. Digestion begins in the mouth, when the saliva starts to break up carbohydrates and the teeth start grinding up the food. However, protein digestion does begin in the stomach.
