The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the conversion of starch to ethyl alcohol through maltose and glucose, we need to identify the enzymes (X, Y, Z) involved in each step of the process. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Conversion of Starch to Maltose - **Reaction**: Starch (C6H10O5)n is hydrolyzed to form Maltose (C12H22O11). - **Enzyme (X)**: The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is **Diastase**. ### Step 2: Conversion of Maltose to Glucose - **Reaction**: Maltose (C12H22O11) is hydrolyzed to form Glucose (C6H12O6). - **Enzyme (Y)**: The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is **Maltase**. ### Step 3: Conversion of Glucose to Ethyl Alcohol - **Reaction**: Glucose (C6H12O6) is fermented to produce Ethyl Alcohol (CH3CH2OH). - **Enzyme (Z)**: The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is **Zymase**. ### Final Answer: Thus, the sequence of enzymes X, Y, Z is: - X = Diastase - Y = Maltase - Z = Zymase
