Digestion starts in the mouth when you're chewing, then the stomach, then small intestines.

Digestion of starch begins in the mouth with the chewing of food (mastication) and the production of amylases immediately breaking down certain starches. The lining of the stomach produces hydrochloric acid (HCl). This acidic environment is critical for helping eliminate unwanted bacteria as well as initiating the digestion of proteins. <span>The small intestine is specifically designed to maximize the digestion and absorption process. The majority of carbohydrate digestion occurs in the small intestine. It is here that disaccharides (sugars composed of two monosaccharides) like sucrose, maltose, and lactose are broken down into monosaccharides, which are then absorbed directly into the cells that form the intestinal lining.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)</span>

Answer:

See the eplanation below, please.

Explanation:

In sickle cell anemia, hemoglobin has the form of rigid bars inside the red blood cells, causing them to adopt sickle shapes being not very flexible. These cells can block blood vessels, stopping the flow, causing oxygen to not reach the tissues.

The cause of this anemia is due to a genetic mutation (there is a substitution of thymine for adenine in the beta globin gene, located on chromosome 11), generating Hemoglobin S with a decrease in oxygen binding.
