Solution:
[b] Mouth releases saliva (secreted from salivary glands) containing salivary amylase enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates.
Stomach is the most distensible and widest organ of the alimentary canal.
It is an acidic environment where digestion of protein takes place (by breaking proteins into larger polypeptides).
Small intestine carries out most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Large intestine reclaims water and salts.
