Question

Zymase converts glucose or fructose into _____________
A.Methanol
B.Ethanol
C.Ethanal
D.None of these

Answer 1

Hint: We must remember that the conversion of glucose by Zymase is carried out by the mixture of enzymes. This enzyme is secreted by yeast and this is extensively used in brewing and baking industries.

Complete answer:
We have to remember that the zymase is an enzyme complex that catalysts the fermentation of sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide. It occurs naturally in yeasts. Zymase activity varies among yeast strains. Zymase is also the brand name of the drug pancrelipase.
Buchner proved that fermentation doesn’t require intact yeast cells, but is caused by an enzyme called Zymase. Pyrazole belongs to a class of organic compounds of the heterocyclic series with 5-membered ring structure.
So we conclude that in the presence of Zymase glucose or fructose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. We can write the chemical equation for this chemical reaction as,

Therefore, the solution to this present question is option B that is ethanol.

Additional information:
We must remember that the diastase is an enzyme that’s found within the germination of the seeds which helps in transforming the starch to maltose. Maltase is an enzyme that is found in animals, plants, bacteria and yeast which catalyses the hydrolysis of the disaccharide maltose to simple sugar.
We should have an idea of glucose. Here are some important points about glucose: it is the most abundant monosaccharides, which is a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is the main sort of sugar within the blood and is that the main source of energy for the body’s cells.

Note:
We have to remember that the bacteria that can convert glucose to sort alcohol are zymomonas mobilis, clostridium acetobutylicum, klebsiella pneumonia. Yeast which can convert glucose to alcohol is saccharomyces cerevisiae, saccharomyces carlsbergensis, saccharomyces oviformis.
