    Which enzyme converts glucose into alcohol?

    A)  Zymase          

    B)  Diastase

    C)  Invertase        

    D)  Lipase

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Glucose and fructose are both converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide in presence of zymase enzyme. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Glu\cos e\,and \\  fructose \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\xrightarrow{Zymase}\underset{Ethanol}{\mathop{2{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}}\,+2C{{O}_{2}}\] Invertase enzyme converts sugar into glucose and fructose. \[\underset{Sugar}{\mathop{{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{Invertase}\underset{Glu\cos e}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\]\[+\,\,\underset{\operatorname{Pructose}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\]
