Question

Which of the following reaction is catalysed by enzyme maltase?

• A. $Starch \rightarrow \, maltose $
• B. $Maltose \rightarrow \, glucose $
• C. $Lactose \rightarrow maltose $
• D. $Maltose \rightarrow glucose +fructose $

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Maltose gives two molecules of glucose by the hydrolysis in
presence of maltase enzymes.
$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+H_2O \xrightarrow {Maltase} 2C_6H_{12}O_6$
$maltose glucose $
