Question

Match the correct pairs ;

1. Invertase a) Sclerotinia libertine

2. Pectinase b) Candida lipolytica

3. Lipase c) Trichodermakonigii

4. Cellulose d) Saccharomyces cerevisiae

​

Answer 1

The correct pairs are:

1. Invertase - Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2. Pectinase - Sclerotinia libertine
3. Lipase -  Candida lipolytica
4. Cellulase -  Trichoderma konigii

• Invertase is an enzyme whose main function is to bring about a hydrolysis process that results in the breakdown of sucrose( a complex sugar) into glucose and fructose( simple sugars).

• Pectinase is an enzyme whose main function is to provide high-quality juices. In simple terms, pectinase is used in the food industry to extract and filtrate juices from fruits.

• Lipase is an enzyme whose main function is to digest or break down fats and lipids.

• Cellulase is an enzyme whose main function is to break down complex molecules like cellulose into simple molecules.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Invertase - Saccharomyces cerevisiae
• Pectinase - Sclerotinia libertine
• Lipase -  Candida lipolytica
• Cellulase -  Trichoderma konigii

Explanation:

• Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the organism of choice for invertase production because of its capability to ferment sucrose. 
• Pectinases are a family of enzymes that hydrolyze, transelimination, and deesterify pectin, a polysaccharide present in plant cell walls.
• Your pancreas, a small organ near your stomach, produces lipase, a type of protein. Lipase is a digestive enzyme that aids in the digestion of lipids.
• Trichoderma reesei is a filamentous fungus with an extraordinary ability to synthesise numerous enzymes and proteins, including cellulases, hemicellulases, and hydrophobins, making it a superior cellulase source for industrial applications.
