No, enzymes like salivary amylase will denature when subjected to the low pH of the gastric juices. This is why there are similar, but slightly different enzymes released in the stomach. Some (like pepsin) are only activated through the high hydrochloric acid concentration.
It doesn't. Due to the low pH, enzymes in your saliva denature and become useless.
Carbohydrate digestion happens mostly in the mouth and esophagus, surprisingly. This combines with the fact that the enzymes in saliva that cause digestion stop functioning when they reach the stomach.
salivary amylase.
Both. Salivary amylase works in your mouth, and the others in your stomach and duodenum.
The salivary glands secret enzymes which help prepare food for digestion in the stomach

The stomach, pancreas, small intestines, salivary glands, and the food we eat produces enzymes that live in every corner of the human body. These proteins perform different chemical function to keep the body running.
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
The answer is B
Amylase is not active in the stomach, the environment is too acidic. This is why the pancrease produces and secretes amylase into the duodenum after food leaves the stomach, to replace the amylase secreted by salivary glands and denatured by stomach acid.
Most digestive enzymes are produced in the stomach. You will find that with the complex ducts throughout the human body these enzymes can travel to other areas of the digestive system. These areas include the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the intestines.

There is more than one source of digestive enzymes that break down food. These include the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and the small intestine.
