The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the function of zymase, we need to analyze the options provided and understand what zymase does in biochemical processes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Zymase**: Zymase is a complex of enzymes found in yeast that is responsible for the fermentation process. It plays a crucial role in converting sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: Change starch into sugar. - This is not the primary function of zymase. Zymase acts on sugars rather than starch. - **Option 2**: Ferment glucose to alcohol and CO2. - This is a key function of zymase. It catalyzes the fermentation of glucose, producing ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide. - **Option 3**: Change malt sugar into glucose. - While zymase may have some role in this process, it is not its main function. - **Option 4**: Change starch into malt sugar and dextrin. - This is more related to the action of amylase enzymes, not zymase. 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the correct function of zymase is best described by **Option 2**, which states that zymase ferments glucose to alcohol and CO2. ### Final Answer: The function of zymase is to **ferment glucose to alcohol and CO2** (Option 2). ---
