Question

Glucose is converted into alcohol by the action of the enzyme
(a) invertase (b) maltase
(c) zymase (d) diastase

Answer 1

Answer:

Glucose is converted into alcohol by the action of the ZYMASE

Answer 2

Glucose is converted into alcohol (ethanol) by the action of the enzyme (c) Zymase

1. Zymase is found in yeast

2. This process is called fermentation and glucose is converted into ethanol or ethyl alcohol.

3. Two moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) is also produced in the process.

4. Yeasts do this in the absence of oxygen so it is an anaerobic process.
