Answer 2

║⊕ANSWER⊕║

• The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth.
• The saliva secreted from your salivary glands moistens food as it's chewed.
• Saliva releases an enzyme called salivary amylase, which begins the breakdown process of the sugars in the carbohydrates you're eating.

As the bolus of food travels through the esophagus to the stomach, no significant digestion of carbohydrates takes place.

• When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach.
