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

1 answer

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.
