Answer:
Breakdown of starch take place in ________.
Starch breaks down to shorter glucose chains. This process starts in the mouth with salivary amylase. The process slows in the stomach and then goes into overdrive in the small intestines. The short glucose chains are broken down to maltose and then to glucose.
