How is starch digested?

Answer:
It is digested from the mouth to the butt. Saliva starts the digestion.


It is digested by enzymes called amylase (produced by the salivary glands), that turn starch into glucose, so that it can be easily absorbed by capillaries when the chyme (food leaving the stomach) gets to the small intestine.
