Question 50

In the above reactions, the enzyme A and enzyme B respectively are:

The hydrolysis of sucrose is known as the inversion of cane sugar. The enzyme responsible for this reaction is invertase, which converts sucrose into glucose and fructose.

$$\mathrm{C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{Invertase}} C_6H_{12}O_6 + C_6H_{12}O_6}$$

Therefore, Enzyme A is Invertase.

The conversion of glucose into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide is an alcoholic fermentation reaction. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme zymase, which is present in yeast.

$$\mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6 \xrightarrow{\text{Zymase}} 2C_2H_5OH + 2CO_2}$$

Therefore, Enzyme B is Zymase.

Hence, the correct answer is Option (C): Invertase and Zymase.
