No, it's not an enzyme, it's a simple sugar.
Yes, Glucoamylase breaks down starch to glucose.
The enzyme that breaks down starches into glucose is called amylase.
An enzyme is one kind of protein that can catalyze a specific reaction whereas a regulatory enzyme is the enzyme which can regulate a series of reaction which undergo in the living organism. So we can say every enzyme is not a regulatory one but the regulatory enzymes are obviously a special kind of enzyme.
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
Catalysts are compounds that change the speed of chemical reactions. An enzyme is a protein and also a catalyst. So an enzyme can be a catalyst, but a catalyst can't be an enzyme.
The shape allows the enzyme to carry out specific chemical reactions.
Once you boil the enzyme, it will be inactivated. Milk will have no effects of the enzyme.

Dextrose is made from corn starch. The starch is digested using enzymes like alpha-amylase and glucoamylase. When it is digested into individual sugar molecules, it is called dextrose.
A fructose (levulose) molecule has six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms which is generally found in nature, but can be produced into such sugars as high fructose corn syrup. This is done by taking corn (usually genetically modified) and milling it into corn starch. Then by adding the enzyme a-amylase followed by the enzyme glucoamylase, this turns the starch into glucose. Glucose isomerase is then added to convert the glucose into fructose. This does not convert all glucose to fructose, however. This is where the purity of the product is noted and labeled with the percentage next to HFCS (i.e. HFCS 55 signifies 55% fructose, 45% glucose).
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
An enzyme is a protein
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
enzyme-substrate complex
the lipase enzyme :)
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
