Maltase is the enzyme that breaks down maltose into glucose. Maltose is a disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules bonded together. Therefore, when maltase breaks it down, the only product formed is glucose. This enzyme is typically produced in the small intestine, which is labeled D in the provided image.
