Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The digestion of food in our body is a decomposition reaction.
In a decomposition reaction, the reactant breaks down and forms two or more products.
Starch is present when we eat foods like wheat, rice or potatoes. Then the food is broken down to form water, carbon dioxide, and heat. Then it starts decomposing and forms amino acids.
