Question

What are the enzymes present in yeast that helps in the decomposition of sugar

Answer 1

Answer:

Yeast produces the enzyme maltase to break moltose into glucose molecules that it can ferment. Once the starch has been broken down into these simple sugars, other enzymes in yeast act upon simple sugars to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide in the bread making step called fermentation.

Answer 2

Explanation:

enzyme, for example lactase, has an active site where the substrate molecules bind to the enzyme. Each enzyme's active site has the right "shape" for a certain substrate molecule but no other. This is like a jigsaw puzzle where only certain pieces fit together.

Enzymes also have temperatures and pH levels which are optimum for them.

The whole process looks like this:
