Sugars are otherwise known as carbohydrates. There are many different sugars, ranging from the single-monomer monosaccharides, to the polysaccharides like starch and cellulose. Each disaccharide (di-monomer sugars - including maltose and sucrose) and polysaccharide is broken down by one particular enzyme. The general term for carbohydrate-breaking enzymes are carbohydrases.
