How is the conditions in the digestive system the same as starch digestion//Cornstarch?bio lab

I am just guessing that you ask about what requirements and integrity of the digestive apparatus must have in order to digest starch...
The action of weak amylases, requires the action of the amylase contained in the saliva (ptialin), during the action of mastication, although, this concentration is not significant to give you the full action of hydrolisis of starch...
The other requirement is a sound secretion of amylase by the pancreas into a healthy jejunum, when most of the hydrolisis takes place, the action of dysacharidases, in order to split dimers of glucose, into individual molecules and further action of phosphorylases , which convert plain glucose into glucose 6 phosphate (absorbable form) mostly in the ileon...(distal small intestine)
Inside of the cells of the villi, the action of phosphoglucomutase, converts glucose 6 phosphate, into glucose 1 phosphate, which is the asssimilable form of glucose,,,,,,,
