Concentrated sugar solution under goes hydrolysis into glucose and fructose by an enzyme_

Correct answer: B. Invertase

  • A. Zymase
  • B. Invertase
  • C. Maltase
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Invertase is the correct enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. This process is crucial in many biological and industrial processes, especially in food production. Zymase, on the other hand, is associated with alcoholic fermentation, converting glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide, while Maltase acts on maltose, not sucrose. The option 'None of these' is incorrect because Invertase is indeed the enzyme that catalyzes the given reaction.

About Reaction Kinetics

Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
