Describe the role of teeth in increasing the surface area of complex foods for exposure to digestive chemicals
Amylase – Enzymes that break down carbohydrates
Protease – Enzymes that break down proteins
Lipase – Enzymes that break down lipids
Digestion begins in the mouth where teeth break the complex food into smaller pieces, this increases the surface area for exposure to digestive chemicals i.e. enzymes. Saliva then lubricates the food and the amylase digests starch to maltose.
