Amylase enzyme can be found in ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. saliva.

Amylase enzyme can be found in saliva. Salivary amylase, also known as ptyalin, plays a crucial role in the digestion of carbohydrates. It breaks down complex starches into simpler sugars, starting the digestion process in the mouth itself. This helps in the initial breakdown of food before it moves to the stomach and the small intestine, where further digestion occurs.
