The enzyme that converts glucose to ethyl alcohol is :
-
- Invertase
- Maltase
- Zymase
- Diastase
- Invertase
Correct Option: C
The fermentation of sugar into ethanol is one of the earliest biotechnologies employed by humanity. Fermentation of fermentable sugars by suitable yeast produces ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Yeast is a single celled fungus containing a number of enzymes useful during fermentation. Brewers yeast and wine yeast, for example, contain zymase, an enzyme that can convert glucose to ethanol.
