-amylase is found in pancreatic juices. Enzyme amylase converts starch into disaccharides, like maltose, isomaltose and dexrins in the small intestine.

Starch  Maltose (disaccharides)

Equation (a) is incorrect as stomach do not contains any fat emulsifying agent

In equation (b) is incorrect as proteins are converted to dipeptides, i.e., two amino acids by the enzymes trypsin and equation (d) triglycerides are converted to diglycerides and fatty acids by lipase enzyme
