Table sugar is a carbohydrate. It is made up of sucrose molecules.
Carbohydrates do not break down table sugar, which is itself a carbohydrate. Table sugar is sucrose, a type of carbohydrate called a disaccharide, and is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose chemically combined to one another. Enzymes break down carbohydrates. In the case of sucrose, the enzyme sucrase, in conjunction with the enzyme α-dextrinase, breaks sucrose down into the individual molecules of glucose and fructose, which can then be used by cells in cellular respiration.

Does table sugar melt at 186 degrees celsius?
No, table sugar (sucrose) does not melt at 186 degrees Celsius. Sucrose melts at around 186 degrees Celsius and breaks down into glucose and fructose at higher temperatures.
Which is a carbohydrate-?
A carbohydrate is a molecule composed of carbon (carbo-) and water (-hydrate). There are many types of carbohydrates referred to as sugars, such as sucrose (table sugar) and glucose (bodies' primary energy source). Starch is an example of a polysaccharide, a chain of many monosaccharides, or simple sugars.
What breaks down sugar for energy?
