Chemical: Monosaccharide Group of Substance: Carbohydrate
Fructose and glucose are both chemicals in the body similar to sugar.
Hexokinase is an enzyme involved in the phosphorylation of hexose (five carbon sugar). It speeds the process on adding a phosphorus to the sugar.
Amylase is a specific type of carbohydrate-digesting enzyme. Its function is to break down starch (a polysaccharide / complex carbohydrate) into maltose (a disaccharide - a smaller carb. molecule). Another type of enzyme is then responsible for breaking maltose into glucose, which is the sugar that is used by your cells for respiration.
The dissolved substance in a solution is called solute.
glucose starch
Sugar is an example of a carbohydrate, which is probably what was meant.
It is sucrose
Sugar is an example of a simple carbohydrate, starch is a complex carbohydrate, and cellulose is a type of fiber.

Salivary amylase is produced in the mouth so that it can digest carbohydrate
No...proteins are proteins and carbohydrates are carbohydrates. A carbohydrate can be a sugar but doesnt have to be...it can be a starch also
No. It is a carbohydrate. Salt would be an example of a mineral.
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.
Carbohydrates store fiber.
A single sugar is a monosaccharide carbohydrate. Examples: Glucose (used for respiration) and Fructose (in fruit). A double sugar is a disaccharide carbohydrate. Example: Sucrose (for plant transport).
