Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth, where saliva and chewing both start to digest those kinds of foods.Mouth, saliva contains the enzyme amylase which breaks down sugars (carbohydrates)
By digesting things we wouldn't be able to otherwise digest, by competing amongst themselves and so controlling the number of bacteria etc.
compost breaks down some foods and makes it into soil just like a lysosomes
Carbohydrates are essential nutrients for your body. Your body can't function properly without them. When you eat food your body digests it and breaks down all the molecules you have eaten.The carbohydrates break down and transform into glucose to fuel your cells.Carbohydrates can be divided into two types, one is simple carbohydrates, the other iscomplex carbohydrates. The difference between these two carbohydrates is how long it takes to fully digest them.Simple carbohydrates digest easily and rapidly, while complex carbohydrates take longer to be digested.
you dont digest bacteria
Certain foods, such as legumes, cabbage, or certain types of bran contain carbohydrates that the body cannot digest. However, bacteria in the colon can use them for food, and as they are digested by the bacteria, gas is produced.

Saliva contains an enzyme called amylase. The amylase breaks down the polysaccharide starch into a disaccharide called glucose.
Salivary amylase is produced in the mouth so that it can digest carbohydrate
Grains are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are digested by the small intestine.
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.
Important intestinal enzymes include amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates; protease, which breaks down proteins; and lipase, which breaks down fats. These enzymes help to digest food in the small intestine, allowing nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
