Enzymes in the digestive system, like salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase, break down starch into simpler sugars like glucose through a process called hydrolysis. This makes the sugars easier to absorb in the small intestine. The breakdown of starch by these enzymes is essential for efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients.
your digestive system beaks down food.
The mouth is part of the digestive system. It is where the process of digestion begins, as food is broken down into smaller pieces by chewing and mixed with saliva to begin the process of enzymatic breakdown.
Starch primarily passes through the mouth and small intestine in the digestive system. In the mouth, chewing and saliva start the digestion process by breaking down starch into smaller molecules. In the small intestine, enzymes continue to break down starch into glucose for absorption into the bloodstream.
The digestive system that experiences chemical breakdown is the Gastro intestinal. Chemical matter is then moved on through the small intestines.
