The digestion of starch starts from the mouth.

Answer 2

The statement “Digestion of starch starts in the stomach.” is False. Digestion of starch begins not in the stomach but in the mouth.

When you start to chew your food in mouth it is mixed with saliva.

The saliva supplies moisture, carbohydrate-digesting enzyme and amylase. Mouth is where the amylase in saliva begins to break down starch.
