Answer and Explanation:

Digestion of carbohydrates occurs in the mouth, duodenum and small intestines. In the mouth, salivary amylase hydrolyses starch to maltose. In the duodenum, pancreatic amylase breaks down starch into maltose. In the small intestines, enzyme maltase digests maltose to glucose.
