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 settings you've provided and what generally occurs in a simulation involving starch, amylase, maltase, and other related compounds, let's analyze each statement:

1. All starch was converted into maltose and then glucose.
   False - While there is amylase present to break down starch into maltose and maltase to further convert maltose into glucose, it's unlikely all starch would be fully converted in just one minute, considering the concentrations of the enzymes and the substrate.

2. When maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch.
   False - Amylase does not convert maltose back into starch; rather, it breaks down starch into maltose.

3. The end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules.
   False - While maltose may be present, given the presence of maltase and the duration of the simulation, it's likely that glucose may also be present.

4. Only glucose and enzymes were present at the end.
   False - Given the initial quantities and activities, it's reasonable to conclude that starch and maltose may still be present along with enzymes.

In summary, all statements are likely False based on typical enzyme behavior and the settings provided in the simulation.
