No, enzymes break carbohydrates down into sugar.
the small intestines
The small intestine receives enzymes from the pancreas. It provides digestive enzymes for the breakdown of all three types of foods; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
The final breakdown of carbohydrates is facilitated by enzymes like amylase, sucrase, and maltase, which break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Amino acids are broken down by enzymes like proteases and peptidases, which break proteins into individual amino acids. Nucleic acids are broken down by enzymes such as nucleases, which break down DNA and RNA into nucleotides.
Enzymes
Hexokinase
The final breakdown of carbohydrates is carried out by enzymes such as amylase, sucrase, and lactase. For amino acids, enzymes like proteases and peptidases are responsible for breaking them down into individual amino acids. Nucleic acids are broken down by enzymes known as nucleases, which break phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides.
Hexokinase
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars. Pasta is a form of starch and the breakdown of starch begins in the mouth.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are typically proteins, though some RNA molecules can also function as enzymes, known as ribozymes. For example, amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch into sugars.
The word for the breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or molds in the absence of oxygen is "fermentation." During fermentation, these microorganisms convert sugars into acids, gases, or alcohol, depending on the type of fermentation process. This anaerobic process is utilized in various applications, including food production and biofuel generation.
Lipase catalyzes the break down of lipids.
