Question

$C_{12}{H}_{22}{O}_{11}\stackrel{\text{Enzyme A}}{\to }\underset{\text{Glucose}}{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}+\underset{\text{Fructose}}{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}$
$\underset{\text{Glucose}}{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}\stackrel{\text{Enzyme B}}{\to }{C}_2{H}_{5}OH+2C{O}_2$
In the above reactions, the enzyme $A$ and enzyme $B$ respectively are

• A. Amylase and Invertase
• B. Zymase and Invertase
• C. Invertase and Amylase
• D. Invertase and Zymase

Answer 1

The correct option is D Invertase and Zymase

$C_{12}{H}_{22}{O}_{11}\stackrel{\text{Invertase}}{\to }\underset{\text{Glucose}}{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}+\underset{\text{Fructose}}{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}$
$\underset{\text{Glucose}}{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}\stackrel{\text{Zymase}}{\to }{C}_2{H}_{5}OH+2C{O}_2$
Hence,
Enzyme $A$ is Invertase
Enzyme $B$ is Zymase
