Which of the following enzymes present in yeast helps out in fermentation?
Correct answer: C. Zymase
- A. Diastase
- B. Maltase
- C. Zymase
- D. All of above options are correct
Explanation
Zymase is a complex mixture of enzymes found in yeast cells. It plays a crucial role in the process of fermentation. Zymase helps in the conversion of glucose into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide during anaerobic respiration (fermentation). This process is commonly used in the brewing industry to produce beer and wine and in baking to make bread rise.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
