the hydrochloric acid is likely to prevent the digestion of starch by carbohydrase enzymes in the stomache because the carbohydrase enzymes optimum PH is PH7. The Hydrochloric acid in the stomache makes the PH in the stomache PH3 therefore the stomache has too weak a PH for the enzymes to be able to work.
Many sorts of enzymes at different parts of the system. In the mouth enzymes to break down sugars, in the stomach enzymes to break down proteins and in the small intestine enzymes to break down fats and sugars.
Yes, enzymes are present in the stomach. The main enzyme in the stomach is pepsin, which helps break down proteins into smaller peptides for digestion. These enzymes are secreted by the stomach lining to aid in the digestion process.
The salivary glands secret enzymes which help prepare food for digestion in the stomach

salivary amylase.
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.

Enzymes, they are responsible in chemical digestion.
Carbohydrases are enzymes that break down carbohydrates into smaller sugar molecules. They work in the digestive system, particularly in the mouth (salivary amylase), stomach (gastric amylase), and small intestine (pancreatic amylase and sucrase, among others), to help with the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
The muscle between the esophagus and stomach, called the lower esophageal sphincter, helps control the flow of food and liquids into the stomach. It opens to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to prevent stomach contents from flowing back up into the esophagus. This helps prevent acid reflux and aids in the digestion process by keeping food in the stomach where it can be broken down by stomach acids and enzymes.
In your stomach. In mouth, stomach and small intestine.
