simulation:

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

after letting the simulation run for about a minute, answer whether something true or false that happened during this simulation.
true or false: when maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch

1 answer

False. In the given simulation, amylase breaks down starch into maltose, not the other way around. Once maltose is produced, it would not be converted back into starch by amylase.
