The answer is:

False

Here is why:

What makes this statement false is "mouth." Polypeptide digestion starts in the stomach and it ends in the small intestine, in the duodenum to be more specific. Polypeptides cannot be directly absorbed by the body, so they are broken down into either individual amino acids, dipeptides or tripeptides so they can be absorbed.
