16.72Maltase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes maltose to two glucose molecules. (16.4)

a.What are the reactants and products of the reaction?

b.Draw an energy diagram for the reaction with and without maltase.

c.How does maltase make the reaction go faster?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Maltase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of maltose:

Part a) Reactants and products of the reaction

part b)

Part c) As the activation energy of the reaction falls, additional reactants join the reaction, and the process accelerates.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction.

--Maltose is the reactant, and two glucose molecules are the result.

02

Given Information (part a).

--Maltose is hydrolyzed by Maltase into two glucose molecules.

are the reaction's reactants and products

03

Explanation (part a).

Reactants and products of the reaction

Zn+2HCl→ZnCl2+H2
04

Given Information(part b).

-- Maltose is hydrolyzed by Maltase into two glucose molecules.

a representation of the energy of the reaction with and without maltase

05

Explanation (part b).

Calculate the reaction's energy with and without maltase.

06

Given Information (part c).

Maltose is hydrolyzed by Maltase into two glucose molecules.

Does maltase speed up the reaction

07

Explanation (part c).

maltase speed up the reaction ;

— Maltose lowers the activation energy needed to convert reactant to product.

— As the activation energy of the reaction falls, additional reactants join the reaction, and the process accelerates.
