Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -You begin to digest carbohydrates the minute the food hits your mouth. The saliva secreted from your salivary glands moistens food as it’s chewed. Saliva releases an enzyme called amylase, which begins the breakdown process of the sugars in the carbohydrates you’re eating.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution 7: Cellulose (a type of carbohydrate) can be digested by ruminants but not by humans because ruminants have a large sac-like structure called rumen between the oesophagus and the small intestine. The cellulose of the food is digested here by the action of certain bacteria which are not present in humans.
