From Tasting to Digesting worksheets questions with answers
1. What is the main function of the tongue? What are the four types of tastes?
Ans. The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate.
2. What is the function of saliva in the mouth?
Ans. The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

a. To digest the food properly, we should eat slowly and chew the food well.
