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: the end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules

1 answer

False. In the simulation you described, starch is present, and amylase is available to break down the starch into maltose. Since the initial conditions indicate that there is no maltose or glucose, it suggests that the amylase is in the process of breaking down starch into maltose. Therefore, the end result would not be just enzymes and maltose molecules; rather, there would be a mix of starch, maltose, and enzymes still acting on the starch.
