Question

Match the following:

List -- I (Enzyme)		List -- II (Reaction)
A.	Invertase	I.	Maltose → Glucose
B.	Pepsin	II.	Sucrose → Glucose + Fructose
C.	Diastase	III.	Proteins → Peptides
		IV.	Starch → Maltose

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

Hint:

Enzymes are specific to their substrates: Invertase acts on sucrose, Pepsin on proteins, and Diastase on starch.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's match the enzymes with their reactions. Invertase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose, so A matches II. Pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides, so B matches III. Diastase (a type of amylase) converts starch into maltose, so C matches IV. Thus, the correct matching is: \[ \text{A-II, B-III, C-IV} \] This corresponds to option 3. Thus, the correct answer is A-II, B-III, C-IV.
