    Part 1 of this lab report will show the effects of salivary Amylase on starch which will be representing the food that we eat. We will also see how much the taste buds in our mouth contribute to our taste and smell. I will then post pictures to show how animals cut up their food and how their teeth contribute to the start of the digestive system.
