no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
That would be chemical digestion, because carbohydrates are molecules, therefore they are also chemicals.

The first step in chemical digestion occurs in the mouth with the enzyme amylase breaking down carbohydrates into simpler sugars.
The tongue is involved in both mechanical and chemical digestion. It helps break down food into smaller pieces through chewing (mechanical digestion) and it also helps mix food with saliva, which contains enzymes that start breaking down carbohydrates (chemical digestion).
explain digestion of carbohydrates
Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Most chemical digestion in humans occurs in the small intestine. Enzymes produced by the pancreas, liver, and small intestine work to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
