(d) Saliva contains enzymes that digest starch/protein

Explanation

(a) Goblet cells are located in the intestinal mucosal epithelium and secrete mucus.

(b) Fats are broken down into di and monoglycerides with the help of lipases.

Fats $\xrightarrow{\text { Lipases }}$ Diglycerides $\longrightarrow$ Monoglycerides.

(c) Gastric glands of stomach mucosa have oxyntic cells which secrete HCl

(d) Saliva contains enzymes that digest starch.

$$\text { Starch } \frac{\text { Salivaryamylase }}{\mathrm{pH} 6.8} \text { Maltose }+ \text { Isomaltose }+\alpha \text {-dextrins }$$
