OK, imagine eating a Snikers bar…where does chemical digestion begin for the carbohydrates in the nougat and where does chemical digestion begin for the proteins in the peanuts?

A) nougat chemical digestion begins in the mouth / protein chemical digestion begins in the mouth

B) nougat chemical digestion begins in the stomach / protein chemical digestion begins in the stomach

C) nougat chemical digestion begins in the stomach / protein chemical digestion begins in the mouth

D) nougat chemical digestion begins in the mouth / protein chemical digestion begins in the stomach

E) nougat chemical digestion begins in the mouth / protein chemical digestion begins in the small intestine

Explanation / Answer

nougat chemical digestion begins in the mouth / protein chemical digestion begins in the stomach

Carbohydrate in nougats starts digesting in the mouth where salivary glands produce saliva, and also release the enzyme salivary amylase, which begins the process of breaking down the polysaccharides.

Protein chemical digestion begins in the stomach and ends in the small intestine
