Question 8
After letting the simulation run for about a minute, answer whether something true or falsethat happened during this simulation. (1 point)
True False
All starch was converted into maltose and then glucose.

When maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch.

The end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules.

Only glucose and enzymes were present at the end.

Answer 1

Based on the provided settings for the simulation and typical enzyme behavior, here are the likely outcomes you can expect:

1. All starch was converted into maltose and then glucose.

   • True (likely) – With enough amylase present and ideal conditions, starch should be broken down into maltose and eventually glucose.

2. When maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch.

   • False – Amylase does not convert maltose back into starch; instead, it facilitates the breakdown of starch into smaller sugars.

3. The end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules.

   • False – If the starch was entirely converted, there would likely be both maltose and glucose present, not solely maltose.

4. Only glucose and enzymes were present at the end.

   • False – While glucose may be present, it's unlikely that only glucose and enzymes remain without any remaining maltose.

So the answers would typically be:

• All starch was converted into maltose and then glucose. True
• When maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch. False
• The end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules. False
• Only glucose and enzymes were present at the end. False

Please verify these outcomes with the specifics of your simulation results to ensure accuracy.
