In the mouth, starch, a carbohydrate, is chemically broken down by the enzyme amylase found in saliva. This enzyme hydrolyzes starch into simpler sugars, such as maltose. The process begins during chewing, where food is mixed with saliva, facilitating the enzymatic action. However, the breakdown of proteins and fats begins later in the digestive system, primarily in the stomach and small intestine.

What body part breaks down food?
In your mouth, saliva from your salivary glands chemically breaks down carbohydrates and lipids. Your stomach chemically breaks down food with hydrochloric acid and makes the food soupy. Enzymes and other substances continue the break down of food in the small intestine. So, food is chemically broken down in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.
Where is the first site of digestion in the human body?
The mouth is the first site of digestion in the human body. In the mouth food is broken down mechanically by the jaw and chemically by saliva.
How is food broken down mechanically and chemical in the mouth?
Enzymes break down the food in the mouth so you take all the nutrients.
How does food change in the mouth?
Physically is is chewed (so this is a purely physical breakdown). CHemically it reacts with the amylase in saliva and is broken down further.
Can cesium be broken down?
No. Cesium is an element and so cannot be broken down chemically.
