<u>Answer:</u>

Amylase is an enzyme found in saliva which breaks the chemical bonds between the sugar monomers in starches.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enzymes are a type of protein which are bound to perform a specific function. Amylase is an enzyme responsible to break down the starch, which is one complex kind of a carbohydrate, in the food that we eat.

This salivary enzyme initiates the digestion process by breaking the long chain of complex carbohydrates, amylopectin and amylose, into smaller sugar molecules called maltose. These molecules, maltose, are made up of glucose sub-units which are the monomers here.
