Complete the following statement by choosing the correct option: The enzyme responsible for the inversion of cane sugar is ___(A)___, and chemically it is a ___(B)___.

Options

  1. A(A) Invertase, (B) Globular protein
  2. B(A) Zymase, (B) Globular protein
  3. C(A) Invertase, (B) Polysaccharide
  4. D(A) Zymase, (B) Polysaccharide

Correct answer

A. (A) Invertase, (B) Globular protein

Step-by-step solution

The inversion of cane sugar (sucrose) into glucose and fructose is catalyzed by the specific enzyme invertase. Almost all enzymes, including invertase, are chemically globular proteins. They are not polysaccharides. Zymase is the enzyme that converts glucose into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Answer: (A) Invertase, (B) Globular protein
