Where are carbohydrates lipids and proteins broke down in the GI tract?
Carbohydrates and proteins are digested in the stomach. Carbs require several enzymes to be digested, such as the enzyme salivary amylase (secreted in the mouth); digestion ultimately occurs at the level of the stomach. Proteins are also digested in the stomach, but require a general class of enzymes called proteases in order to be digested. Lipids are digested in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. The secretion of lipase enzymes is necessary to complete this task.

How are carbohydrates digested?
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. As food does not remain long in the mouth, only a little starch is digested by salivary amylase to maltose. No digestion of carbohydrates occurs in the stomach; only proteins are digested in the stomach. In the small intestine, starch is digested by pancreatic amylase into maltose, which is digested by maltase into glucose. Lactose is digested by lactase into glucose and galactose. Sucrose is digested by sucrase into glucose and fructose.The end products of carbohydrate digestion are simple sugars (glucose, fructose, and galactose) which can be absorbed. Cellulose is not digested in the humans' gut.Yes.
