Question:

Identify the sets in which enzyme, its source and enzyme reaction are correctly matched:
I) maltase, yeast; proteins $\rightarrow$ peptides
II) diastase, malt; starch $\rightarrow$ maltose
III) zymase, yeast; glucose $\rightarrow$ C$_2$H$_5$OH + CO$_2$

Show Hint

Focus on enzyme specificity and correct substrate-product relationships in matching-type questions.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Maltase converts maltose to glucose, not proteins to peptides — hence I is incorrect. 
Diastase from malt breaks starch to maltose, and zymase from yeast converts glucose to ethanol and CO$_2$.
