Sucrose is not an enzyme it is a disaccharide sugar made from one glucose and one fructose. Sucrase, on the other hand, is an enzyme that digests sucrose into one glucose and one fructose molecules.
Hope that helps.

∙ 14y agoYes. Enzymes usually have the suffix "-ase" and what precedes the "ase" is indicative of what the enzyme helps hydrolyze. In this case, sucrase is the enzyme that breaks up sucrose.

∙ 9y agoSucrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the break down of sucrose into monosaccharide's. This process is referred to as an enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis.

∙ 12y agothe interaction between sucrase and sucrose weakens the C-C bond in sucrose, lower Ea so that sucrose can be broken down to glucose and fructose

Where is sucrase secreted?
Sucrase is synthesized in the small intestine by the brush border, and secreted by the tips of the villi epithelium, particularly in the duodenum
Are individual amino acids likely to be found in the mouth?
yes because the mouth is breaking down sucrase maltose they have proteins falty acids
What is the breakdown of food without the use of oxygen?
The breakdown of food without the use of oxygen is fermentation.
The cells primarily responsible for the breakdown of bone are?
The cells primarily responsible for the breakdown of bone are
What is the main result of aerobic respiration?
The production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose.
What enzymes are needed to breakdown disaccharides?
The enzymes lactase, maltase, and isomaltase (or sucrase) are needed to break down the disaccharides.
What are the reactants and products of carbohydrate breakdown?
During carbohydrate breakdown, the reactants are salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, maltase, sucrase and lactase. The products are maltose, glucose, fructose and fiber.
What is the optimal pH of sucrase?
The optimum pH for sucrase is 2.0
What is the functions of sucrase in the breakdown of table sugar?
It catalyzes the breakdown of table sugar,also known as sucrose. The sucrose binds to the active site of the enzyme,and the enzyme's configuration change so that the bridge between the two simples sugars is exposed to water molecules.

What is the main purpose of a sucrase?
Sucrase is an enzyme which catalyze the hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose.
What is sucrase secreted from?
Sucrase is a family of enzymes. Some of it is secreted from the salivary glands in the mouth but most of the sucrase activity is in the small intestines. In the intestines it is not secreted, but rather, contained in the wall.

Where does sucrase work in the body?
Stomach
Where in the intestine sucrase is to be the most active?
The duodenum
Sucrase converts sucrose into?
glucose and fructose
What is the substrate for lyase?
the substrate for lyase is sucrase
