Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mouth contains amylase enzymes that break down starch into smaller molecules. None of the other options solely digest starch. The small intestine does digest carbohydrates, but not exclusively starch, and the large intestine does not digest anything, it absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible material. The stomach digests proteins, while the esophagus simply serves as a passage for food.
