Which enzyme converts glucose into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide?

  • 1.Invertase
  • 2.Zymase
  • 3.Diastase
  • 4.Maltase
Correct Answer
Option 2:Zymase
Solution

Zymase is the enzyme that converts glucose into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Glucose is transformed into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide by the zymase enzyme.

The enzyme that converts Glucose into Ethyl Alcohol and Carbon dioxide

● The chemical reaction involved in the conversion of glucose into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide: C6H12O6 (aq) [Glucose] → 2C2H5OH (aq) [Ethylalcohol] + 2CO2 (g)[Carbondioxide]

● One mole of sucrose is converted by alcoholic fermentation into two moles of ethanol and two moles of carbon dioxide, as well as two moles of ATP.

● Starch is converted by diastase into maltose, which is then changed into glucose.

● The hydrolysis (breakdown) of sucrose (table sugar) into fructose and glucose is catalyzed by the enzyme invertase.

● Maltase, which can be found in the pancreas and saliva, converts carbohydrates to glucose.
