Here are the answers to your questions based on the observations you made from the simulation:
Question 4: What did you observe?
- Correct Response: Starch was not broken down by the maltose enzyme.
This observation makes sense because maltase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down maltose, not starch. In your simulation, since there was no amylase to break down starch into maltose, the starch remained intact.
Question 5: Which of the following did you observe?
- Correct Response: Amylase reacted with starch to create glucose molecules.
Since amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch, in this simulation, you would have observed that it converted starch into glucose.
Question 6: After those two simulations, what is a logical conclusion you can reach?
- Correct Response: Enzymes are specific to a substrate.
This conclusion is valid because the observations made in both simulations highlighted the specificity of enzymes; maltase does not act on starch, while amylase specifically acts on starch but not maltose.
