Answer:
What are enzymes?
An enzyme is a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process. The biological processes that occur within all living organisms are chemical reactions, and most are regulated by enzymes.
Name the enzymes required for the fermentation of sugarcane to ethanol.
A glucoamylase enzyme is used to break down the starch molecules and the dextrins. This enzyme is capable of achieving the complete degradation of the starch to fermentable sugars (glucose). During fermentation, these sugars are converted into alcohol by yeast in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process.
