Match List I with List II.
| List-I (Enzyme) | List-II (Conversion of) |
|---|---|
| A. Invertase | I. Starch into maltose |
| B. Zymase | II. Maltose into glucose |
| C. Diastase | III. Glucose into ethanol |
| D. Maltase | IV. Cane sugar into glucose |
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
We need to match enzymes in List I with their functions in List II.
Invertase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose (cane sugar) into glucose and fructose:
$$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{Invertase}} C_6H_{12}O_6 \text{(glucose)} + C_6H_{12}O_6 \text{(fructose)}$$
So A matches with IV (Cane sugar into glucose).
Zymase is an enzyme complex found in yeast that catalyzes the fermentation of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide:
$$C_6H_{12}O_6 \xrightarrow{\text{Zymase}} 2C_2H_5OH + 2CO_2$$
So B matches with III (Glucose into ethanol).
Diastase (also known as amylase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into maltose:
$$2(C_6H_{10}O_5)_n + nH_2O \xrightarrow{\text{Diastase}} nC_{12}H_{22}O_{11} \text{(maltose)}$$
So C matches with I (Starch into maltose).
Maltase catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose into glucose:
$$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{Maltase}} 2C_6H_{12}O_6 \text{(glucose)}$$
So D matches with II (Maltose into glucose).
Therefore, the final matching is A - IV, B - III, C - I, D - II.
