Starch is the polysaccharide which is broken down into glucose by the body in a series of stages. Amylase digests starch into maltose (a disaccharide). Maltase is the enzyme which breaks maltose into glucose.
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach. It is produced in the stomach and is essential for the digestion of food.
Carbohydrase is am enzyme (biochemical catalyst) which help the decomposition of carbohydrates in simple sugars.

It breaks down starches to simpler sugars.

no cells do not break down nutrients. digestive enzymes do and depending on where or what in the body you want to break down depends on what kind. for example in the mouth there is amylase enzyme which breaks down starch or pepsin in the stomach which breaks down protein. trypsin and erepsin also break down protein but in the small intestine. hope this is ok

Yeah ... well ... kind of. They use that mouth part to release an enzyme that breaks up skin cells, and then uses it's mouth to drink blood.

Humans derive their energy primarily from the food they consume. The body breaks down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from food into energy through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is used to fuel various bodily functions, such as movement, digestion, and brain activity.
