Question

why are carbohydrates not digested in the stomach​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach. ... Salivary glands secrete salivary amylase, which begins the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates by breaking the bonds between monomeric sugar units.

Answer 2

Answer:

because digestion of carbohydrates starts from the mouth by the salivary amylase and it is finally converted into glucose in small intestine by the intestinal juice.
