Complex carbohydrates are broken down by the enzymes, salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, and maltose. Simple carbohydrates on the other hand require little or none of these enzymes to break down.
Amylase is the most commonly thought of. This is the enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose.
amylase breaks down carbohydrate
The enzyme that breaks down starch is called amylase.
The enzyme that digests starch is called amylase. It breaks down starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose and glucose for absorption in the body.
The enzyme that breaks down starch in the digestive system is called amylase.
as a general rule, anything ending in -ase is an enzyme, so lactase is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of lactose
Lipases
Because saliva contains an enzyme (amalyse) which breaks down carbohydrates into their component sugars.
"protease"; an enzyme that breaks down proteins
The name of the carbohydrate molecule that the body breaks down during respiration is a SUGAR MOLECULE.
The enzyme that breaks down amylose is called amylase. Amylase helps to hydrolyze the alpha-glycosidic bonds in amylose, breaking it down into smaller glucose units that can be utilized by the body for energy.
