The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Sucrose, the common table sugar or cane sugar is made up of glucose and fructose. Its molecular formula is $ C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} $ . On hydrolysis sucrose give rise one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose.
$C_{12} H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \rightarrow \underset{\text{Glucose + Fructose}}{C_6H_{12}O_6 + C_6H_{12}O_6}$

Enzymes

Catalysts of biological systems can be known as Enzymes. Enzymes helps us to perform the huge variety of biochemical reactions that encompass in life are all mediated by a series of activities.

Properties of Enzymes:

Following are the properties of enzymes:

  • Enzymes initiate and speed up the reaction
  • The enzyme’s activity is ph dependent
  • Enzymes have the capacity to forward and reverse the reaction but do not decide the direction of the biochemical pathway
  • An enzyme has a particular area on which the substrate interacts to produce the desired product
  • Enzyme becomes unstable at varying ph, high temperature and heat
  • It have protein like characteristics
  • Substrates can be catalyzed with a small number of enzymes
  • Enzyme activity represents absolute, relative, group and stereo specificities
  • Some enzymes perform regulatory function
  • It minimise activation energy (Ea)
  • The enzymes remain unaffected before and after the product formation and it can be reused
  • They are soluble both in water and NaCl.
