Solution

The correct option is A Mouth cavity - carbohydrate digestion
  • The mouth cavity receives the salivary amylase from the salivary gland. This enzyme works on the digestion of carbohydrates while the food is being chewed. Around 40% of carbohydrates are digested in the mouth cavity.
  • The small intestine is the site for the digestion of all the nutrients.
  • Pancreas release the pancreatic juice containing enzymes for protein digestion in the small intestine.
  • The liver secretes bile in the small intestine for the emulsification of fats.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Mouth cavity - carbohydrate digestion'.
