hey there, hi hope this helps u 
if so plz mark mine as the brainiest answer

Mouth


The oral cavity or the mouth contains salivary glands. The salivary gland secretes the enzyme lysozyme which has an antibacterial action.
The enzymes secreted by the mouth mainly provide protection against bacteria. 

Enzymes 

Ptyalin- Converts starch to simple soluble sugars
Amylase- Converts starch to soluble sugars
Betaine- Maintains cell fluid balance as osmolytes
Bromelain- Anti-inflammatory agent, tenderizes meat

Stomach

The enzymes released by the stomach are known as gastric enzymes.
Stomach secretes hydrochloric acid which kills bacteria and germs and provides an acid environment.

Enzymes 

Pepsin- Breaks protein into small peptides
Gastric amylase- Degradation of starch
Gelatinase- Degradation of gelatin and collagen
Rennin- Conversion of liquid milk to solid particles
Gastric lipase- Degradation of butter fat

Pancreas

Pancreas is the main digestive gland of our body. The digestive enzymes of the pancreas breakdown carbohydrates and starch molecules to simple sugars.It functions both as an endocrine and exocrine gland.

Enzymes 

Pancreatic lipase- Degrades triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol
Phospholipase- Hydrolyzes phospholipids into fatty acids
Trypsin- Converts proteins to basic amino acids
Steapsin- Breakdown of triglycerides to glycerol and fatty acids
Chymotrypsin- Converts proteins to aromatic amino acids
Carboxypeptidase- Degradation of proteins to amino acids
Pancreatic amylase- Degradation of carbohydrates to simple sugars
Elastases- Degrade the protein elastin
Nucleases- Conversion of nucleic acids to nucleotides and nucleosides

Small Intestine

The final step of digestion is carried out by the small intestine. It contains a group of enzymes that breakdown the products undigested by the pancreas.The food gets converted to semi-solid form.

Enzymes 

Sucrase- Converts sucrose to disaccharides and monosaccharides
Maltase- Converts maltose to glucose
Lactase- Converts lactose to glucose and galactose
Isomaltase- Converts maltose to isomaltose
