Solution
The correct option is A 𝞪-amylase
Invertase :
Invertase hydrolyses sucrose into glucose and fructose.
𝞪-amylase :
𝛼-amylase hydrolyses amylose into constituent glucose units. Cereals like barley use 𝛼-amylase to convert the stored starch into glucose, which fuels it’s germination.
Lipase :
Lipases hydrolyses and degrades lipids. It is used for removing oil stains from laundry.
Protease :
Proteases hydrolyses proteins into amino acids. It is used in softening bread and meat.
Final answer :
(B) 𝛼-amylase
