The enzyme which can catalyse the conversion of glucose to ethyl alcohol is ___________________?
Correct answer: B. Zymase
- A. Invertase
- B. Zymase
- C. Diastase
- D. Maltase
Explanation
Zymase is the enzyme complex in yeast that converts glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide during alcoholic fermentation. Invertase instead hydrolyses sucrose, while maltase acts on maltose.
