Describe the process of chemical digestion, including the role of enzymes. Give examples of where specific enzymes act in the human digestive system and the molecules they break down.

A student uses Visking tubing (a partially permeable membrane) to model the alimentary canal. A mixture of starch and amylase is placed inside the tubing, which is then submerged in a beaker of distilled water.
(a) After 30 minutes, glucose is detected in the water outside the tubing, but starch is not. Explain this result in terms of chemical digestion.
(b) State the name and exact location of the enzyme that completes the breakdown of the products of amylase into glucose in the human body.
