Which from following enzymes cleaves glycosidic bond in sucrose?

Options

  1. AAmylose
  2. BTrypsin
  3. CInvertase
  4. DMaltase

Correct answer

C. Invertase

Step-by-step solution

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of -D-glucose and -D-fructose linked by a glycosidic bond. The enzyme invertase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into its constituent monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. This process is also known as the inversion of cane sugar. Amylose is a polysaccharide, not an enzyme. Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme that cleaves peptide bonds in proteins. Maltase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes maltose into two glucose molecules. Answer: Invertase
