Homework Answers

Answer #1

1) Option ( d ) is correct. ( Maltose )

Explaination :-

Starch can combine with an iodine solution to produce a blue black coloured substance. Maltose cannot combine with iodine to produce this colour. Therefore, in the presence of iodine, the digestion of starch into maltose will be accompanied by the disappearance of the blue- black colour.

2) Option ( d) is correct. ( Dehydrogenases )

Explaination :-

Dehydrogenase is an enzyme belonging to the group of oxidoreductases that oxidizes a substrate by reducing an electron acceptor, usually NAD+/ NADP+ or a flavin coenzyme.

3) Option ( C) is correct. ( The surface configuration of enzyme )

4) Option ( a) is correct. ( Hexokinase)

Explaination :-

The first step in glycolysis is catalyzed by Hexokinase, an enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of six carbon sugars.
