Answer:
The correct answer is salivary amylase breaks complex starches into smaller units in the mouth.
Explanation:
Salivary amylase is so named because it is present in our saliva.Salivary amylase plays an important role in the digestion of starch molecules.
Salivary amylase degrade the α-1,4-glycosidic linkages present within the biochemical structure of starch polysaccharide.The cleavage of α-1,4-glcosidic linkage result in the maltose,maltitriose and α limit dextrins.
The so formed disaccharide, trisaccharide and tetrasaccharide are further digested in the small intestine to generate simple carbohydrates.
