Match List I with List II
| LIST I Enzymatic reaction |
LIST II Enzyme |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | Sucrose $\to$ Glocuse and Fructose | I. | Zymase |
| B. | Glucose $\to$ ethyl alcohol and CO$_2$ | II. | Pepsin |
| C. | Starch $\to$ Maltose | III. | Invertase |
| D. | Proteins $\to$ Amino acids | IV. | Diastase |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
<p>Let's match the enzymes with the corresponding reactions:</p>
<ul>
<li>The enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose is invertase. So, A matches with III.</li><br/>
<li>The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glucose to ethyl alcohol and CO(_2) (a step in fermentation) is zymase. So, B matches with I.</li><br/>
<li>The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of starch to maltose is diastase. So, C matches with IV.</li><br/>
<li>The enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids is pepsin. So, D matches with II.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, the correct option is:</p>
<p>Option B
A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II</p>
