Chemical digestion of the starch starts in the mouth. Ptylin is the enzyme, which is secreted in the saliva. Ptylin breaks down the starch. This process continue in the stomach till acid neutralize the ptylin.

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 begins in the chemical digestion of foods containing?

In the chemical digestion of foods containing carbohydrates, enzymes in the saliva, such as amylase, start breaking down starches into simpler sugars like maltose. This process continues in the small intestine with enzymes like pancreatic amylase that further break down complex carbohydrates into glucose for absorption.


Explain why chemical digestion does not begin in the mouth for all foods?

Chemical digestion in the mouth primarily involves the breakdown of carbohydrates by the enzyme amylase in saliva. Not all foods require significant carbohydrate digestion, such as proteins and fats. Therefore, chemical digestion for these macronutrients begins further down the digestive tract, where specific enzymes like pepsin and lipase are present.


What nutrient do not undergo any chemical digetion in the stomach?

Fats do not undergo any significant chemical digestion in the stomach. While enzymes like gastric lipase are present, the primary digestion of fats occurs in the small intestine with the help of bile and pancreatic enzymes. The stomach mainly serves to mechanically break down food and mix it with gastric juices, while chemical digestion of carbohydrates and proteins begins there.
