The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds A, B, and C in the given reaction sequence. Let's break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Identify Compound C The final product of the reaction sequence is given as \( C_2H_5OH \) (ethyl alcohol) and \( CO_2 \). The enzyme responsible for this conversion is zymase, which is known to convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide through fermentation. - **Conclusion**: Compound C is glucose (\( C_6H_{12}O_6 \)). ### Step 2: Identify Compound B Next, we need to find out what compound B is. The reaction shows that B is converted into C (glucose) in the presence of the enzyme maltase. Maltase is known to hydrolyze maltose (a disaccharide) into two glucose molecules. - **Conclusion**: Compound B is maltose (\( C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} \)). ### Step 3: Identify Compound A Finally, we need to determine what compound A is. The reaction indicates that A is converted into B (maltose) in the presence of the enzyme diastase. Diastase catalyzes the breakdown of starch (a polysaccharide) into maltose. - **Conclusion**: Compound A is starch. ### Summary of Compounds - **A**: Starch - **B**: Maltose - **C**: Glucose Thus, the correct sequence of compounds A, B, and C is: - A: Starch - B: Maltose - C: Glucose ### Final Answer The compounds A, B, and C in the reaction sequence are: - A: Starch - B: Maltose - C: Glucose ---
