starch is broken down by amylase and starch is the only food that its digestion begins in mouth by amylase of salavia.

No.

plants do not digest food, they make their own from sun-light, water, CO2, and soil minerals.

Plants don't need a digestive system. Animals, in other words, do.I think plants are the only organisms that don't have a digestive system.

Many species of the Protists never developed a digestive system.

Some unsegmented worms that have taken up a parasitic livelihood (such as Hook Worms and tape worms) have lost what digestive they once had and absorb their nutrients directly through their skin.

The stomach, particularly the acid that the stomach makes, typically has a pH of around 1 to 2, the lowest of the digestive system.

Peristalsis is the regular contracting and relaxing of the digestive tract that keeps food moving throughout the system. It is controlled by muscles of muscles in the digestive system, such as the ones in the throat, stomach, and intestines.

Methane :)

Yes. The pancreas is a digestive organ in the abdomen that lies just below the stomach. Its primary job is to produce enzymes required for the digestion and absorption of food. Enzymes secreted include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.

Basically, the process of digestion causes large, complicated molecules to become smaller, simpler molecules. Proteins become amino acids. Starches become sugars. And so forth. Some chemicals remain unchanged; not everything needs to be altered to be digestible.

The final stage of digestion is when your stomach has digested your food then it comes down to the bottom part of your body and is let out when you do the toilet

Protease : an enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins, and Gastric juice which contains enzymes and Hcl( hydrochloric acid)

the endocrine system can be an example, when there is excess glucose in the blood the endocrine system releases hormones such as insulin to decrease the glucose in the body.The respiratory is also another example, when you breathe in oxygen and out carbon

No, it is 22-25 feet long.

Without a throat you won't be able to breath, consume food and water and other liquids.

The adventitia is the outermost or most superficial layer of the esophagus.

There are various organs in the digestive system that have the function of breaking down the food that one person consumes, starting with the mouth, where teeth and saliva start the process needed to convert the food into the 'bolus', which then passes through the esophagus to the stomach, where more processing takes place, through the aid of gastric juices, finally, the processed food goes to the small and large intestine. It's in the small intestine where the nutrients of the food are absorbed into the blood.

The answer is mechanical digestion. In mouth, it's mastication, or chewing.

Digestive enzymes are absorbed in the small intestine. Digestive enzymes are produced by the digestive tract to break down the nutrients in food.

carb break down into sugars by the help of enzymes .

small intestine

It helps to absorb magnesium which is essential for proper bowel movement

Total fat on a nutrition label used to be what people looked for to monitor their diet, if they were on one. Now it is more important to look at he type of fat, for example, if a food is saturated or unsaturated.

in its atmosphere on decaying material to break it down to a form that it can consume

no
