Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and duodenum in which 3 main enzymes, pepsin secreted by the stomach and trypsin and chymotrypsin secreted by thepancreas, break down food proteinsinto polypeptides that are then broken down by various exopeptidases and dipeptidases into amino acids.

Carbohydrate is not digested in the stomach.

Explanation:

  • Carbohydrate is digested by the enzyme called amylase.
  • This enzyme is present in two locations :
  1. Saliva as salivary amylase.
  2. Pancreas as pancreatic amylase.
  • Carbohydrate digestion requires an alkaline environment because the amylase enzyme can function only in alkaline condition.
  • The pH of the stomach is acidic due to the presence of hydrochloric acid so the amylase cannot function in the stomach.
  • The alkaline environment is present in the buccal cavity and also in the small intestine where the carbohydrate digestion takes place.
  • The amylase breaks down the carbohydrate into shorter polypeptide chains.
  • These polypeptides are acted upon by enzymes like sucrase, maltase, and lactase to generate monomeric sugar molecules.
