Redbud trees belong to the genus Cercis, which includes deciduous trees from North America, Asia and the Mediterranean area. The leaves on redbuds are heart-shaped and produce fiery fall colors in red and yellow. The flowers are typically bright and range from pale pink to purple and magenta.
Digestion of starch and other carbohydrates begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase.
How are carbohydrates digested?   Starch digestion begins in the mouth. As food does not remain long in the mouth, only a little starch is digested by salivary amylase to maltose. No digestion of carbohyâ¦drates occurs in the stomach; only proteins are digested in the stomach.
