Question

Match List-I with List-II:

• A. A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
• C. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
• D. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

Hint:

Remember the key enzymes involved in digestion and fermentation:
- Diastase breaks down starch into maltose,
- Pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides,
- Invertase splits sucrose into glucose and fructose,
- Zymase helps in fermentation of glucose to ethanol.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- A: Hydrolysis of starch to maltose: The enzyme responsible for breaking down starch into maltose is diastase.
- B: Conversion of proteins to peptides: Pepsin is the enzyme responsible for breaking down proteins into peptides.
- C: Hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose: The enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose is invertase.
- D: Glucose to ethanol: The conversion of glucose to ethanol occurs through the enzyme zymase. Thus, the correct matching is: \[ A \to \text{III}, \quad B \to \text{II}, \quad C \to \text{I}, \quad D \to \text{IV}. \]
