Here are some specific examples:
* Amylase: This enzyme breaks down starch into simpler sugars like maltose. It is found in saliva and pancreatic juice.
* Sucrase: This enzyme breaks down sucrose (table sugar) into glucose and fructose.
* Lactase: This enzyme breaks down lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose.
* Maltase: This enzyme breaks down maltose into two glucose molecules.
These enzymes work by hydrolysis, meaning they add water to the carbohydrate molecules, breaking the bonds between the sugar units.
