Enzymes that break down food first are located in the...
A.in the stomach.
B.in the saliva.
C.in the large intestine.
B.in the saliva.
The correct answer is B. in the saliva.
Saliva contains enzymes called amylase, which is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates present in the food we consume. These enzymes start the process of digestion while the food is still in our mouth. Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simpler molecules like glucose and maltose. This partially digested food then travels to the stomach where it is further broken down by the stomach enzymes. So, enzymes that break down food first are located in the saliva.
