Question

simulation:

starch: 3
amylase: 2
temp: 35
maltose: 0
maltase: 2
pH: 7
Glucose: 0
amylase inhibitor: 0

after letting the simualtion run for about a minute, answer whether something true or false that happend during this simulation.
true or false: starch was converted into maltose and then glucose

Answer 1

True. In the simulation, starch is broken down into maltose by the enzyme amylase. Since maltase is present, maltose can then be further converted into glucose. Given that maltose is initially at 0 and maltase is present, it is reasonable to conclude that starch was converted into maltose and then glucose during the simulation.
