Detailed Solution

The digestion process begins in the mouth with salivary amylase converting some starch (carbohydrates) to sugar. On chewing raw rice, a sweet taste can be felt due to this formation of sugar. The stomach and small intestine have carbohydrate digesting enzymes that act on the partially digested and undigested starch molecules to convert them to sugar. Fat digestion happens mostly in the small intestine by the lipases, which convert large fat molecules to smaller chylomicrons. Protein digestion begins in the stomach, where they get converted to smaller amino acids. The large intestine absorbs most of the water from digested food.
