Question 1 of 5
The enzyme amylase breaks down?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Carbohydrates. Amylase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down carbohydrates, such as starch and glycogen, into simpler sugars like glucose.

Choice D is incomplete and does not provide a relevant option.
