Answer:
Explanation:
The enzyme in saliva, which is called salivary amylase, begins the chemical breakdown of starches. Mucus lubricates the food, which helps food stick together and mucus also coats and protects the inside of your mouth. Saliva also starts to dissolve small food particles and makes dry food moist enough to swallow comfortably.

From the Mouth to the Stomach
Saliva contains the enzyme, salivary amylase. This enzyme breaks the bonds between the monomeric sugar units of disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and starches. The salivary amylase breaks down amylose and amylopectin into smaller chains of glucose, called dextrins and maltose.
