Question

Where does the digestion of carbohydrates and lipids begin?

Answer 1

Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth, and is broken down with the enzymes in saliva. Protein digestion starts in the stomach, and is broken down with pepsin. Fats are digested in the small intestine using bile and other chemicals.

Answer 2

Answer:

the mouth

The goal of carbohydrate digestion is to break down all disaccharides and complex carbohydrates into monosaccharides for absorption, although not all are completely absorbed in the small intestine (e.g., fiber). Digestion begins in the mouth with salivary amylase released during the process of chewing.
