Digestive organ produce chemicals called Enzymes , which break the bonds in food molecules to turn the long chair molecules to turn the long chain molecules into smaller units. There are many different enzymes , each one specialized to break down a particular types of food molecules. The enzyme sucrase.
 For example - break down sucrose (table sugar) in the intestine.
