Vedclass · Answer

(D) Enzymes are biological catalysts produced by living organisms that accelerate biochemical reactions.Most enzymes are globular proteins that possess a unique $3D$ structure,which is essential for their catalytic activity.Specifically,the tertiary structure of proteins forms the functional enzyme.Therefore,enzymes are proteins with a specific structure.Example: $Maltase$ catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose into glucose.

$A$. Invertase	$I$. Maltose $\rightarrow$ Glucose
$B$. Pepsin	$II$. Sucrose $\rightarrow$ Glucose + Fructose
$C$. Diastase	$III$. Proteins $\rightarrow$ Peptides
	$IV$. Starch $\rightarrow$ Maltose
