mouth: begins digestion of carbs
stomach: begins digestion of proteins. small molecules e.g. alcohol abosrbed

enzymes: biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions

Front
factors affecting enzyme action:
temp: At low temperatures, the number of successful collisions between the enzyme and substrate is reduced because their molecular movement decreases. The reaction is slow.

digestive enzymes:
carbohydrases break down carbohydates --> simple sugars
amylase breaks down starch --> glucose

CARBOHYDRASES:
mouth: salivary amylase(enzyme) salivary glands(where) starch(substrate) maltose(broke down into)
small int.(duodenum) : pancreatic amylase, pancreas, starch, maltose
small int, (ileum) : amylase, ileum wall, maltose, glucose
