A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis. DNA and RNA molecules are written in a language of four nucleotides; meanwhile, the language of proteins includes 20 amino acids. Codons provide the key that allows these two languages to be translated into each other.
Lingual lipase starts the digestion of the lipids/fats. Salivary amylase<span>: Carbohydrate digestion also initiates in the mouth. </span>Amylase<span>, produced by the </span>salivary<span> glands, breaks complex carbohydrates to smaller chains, or even simple sugars.
