Breaking the bonds in a disaccharide. Disaccharides are sugars, sugars are the body's primary fuel. Starch for example is the complex sugar found in plants, broken down in the body to form glucose which is a great source of energy for the body. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate in the food breaks down into another type of sugar.
