Answer:The mouth is the organ in which the process of digestion begins. It starts the process of mechanical digestion by grinding the food with teeth. Also in the mouth, an enzyme called salivary amylase begins to break down long starch molecules into maltose.

or uh can write that....

The salvia contains a liquid that has stored enzymes in it.

When we chew on the food then the saliva coat it and extract start to break it down in the mouth itself.

It will help in breaking down of the food to extract carbohydrates that are done by the amylase enzyme present in the saliva.

hope this helps uh..........
