Sucrase specifically breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose. Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose, and lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. Glucoamylase is also a type of disaccharidase that breaks down starch into glucose. These enzymes play crucial roles in digestion and are necessary for the absorption of certain sugars in the body.
