Concentrated sugar solution undergoes hydrolysis into glucose and fructose by enzyme called:

Correct answer: B. Invertase

  • A. Zymase
  • B. Invertase
  • C. Cellulose
  • D. Urease

Explanation

Explanation:Concentrated sugar solution undergoes hydrolysis into glucose and fructose by enzyme called Invertase. This option is not correct because zymase is an enzyme complex that catalyzes the fermentation of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast cells. This option is not correct because concentrated sugar solution undergoes hydrolysis into glucose and fructose by enzyme called Invertase, not cellulose.This option is also incorrect because Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide.

About Enzymes as Biocatalysts

Enzymes are protein or RNA biocatalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their active sites bind specific substrates. The topic covers the lock and key and induced fit models, effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration, cofactors, enzyme specificity, and competitive versus non-competitive inhibition.
