==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Carbohydrase]]s are a group of [[enzyme]]s which break down [[Polysaccharide|complex carbohydrates]] into simple [[sugar]]s.
===About Carbohydrase===
There are three main [[carbohydrase]]s in the [[human]] [[Digestive System|digestive system]] that you should know:
*[[Amylase]]
*[[Salivary Amylase]]
*[[Pancreatic Amylase]]
