Correct answer: D

  1. Identify the first reaction

    The compound C12H22O11C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}C12​H22​O11​ is sucrose.

    The reaction is: C12H22O11+H2O→Enzyme AC6H12O6(glucose)+C6H12O6(fructose)C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{Enzyme A}} C_6H_{12}O_6(\text{glucose}) + C_6H_{12}O_6(\text{fructose})C12​H22​O11​+H2​OEnzyme A​C6​H12​O6​(glucose)+C6​H12​O6​(fructose)

    This is the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.

    The enzyme responsible for this is invertase (also called sucrase).

    So, Enzyme A=Invertase\text{Enzyme A} = \text{Invertase}Enzyme A=Invertase

  2. Identify the second reaction

    The reaction shown is: C6H12O6→Enzyme B2C2H5OH+2CO2C_6H_{12}O_6 \xrightarrow{\text{Enzyme B}} 2C_2H_5OH + 2CO_2C6​H12​O6​Enzyme B​2C2​H5​OH+2CO2​

    This is the fermentation of glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide.

    The enzyme complex responsible for alcoholic fermentation is zymase.

    So, Enzyme B=Zymase\text{Enzyme B} = \text{Zymase}Enzyme B=Zymase

  3. Match with the options

    • A: Zymase and Invertase →\to→ incorrect
    • B: Invertase and Amylase →\to→ incorrect
    • C: Amylase and Invertase →\to→ incorrect
    • D: Invertase and Zymase →\to→ correct
  4. Final answer

    D: Invertase and Zymase\boxed{\text{D: Invertase and Zymase}}D: Invertase and Zymase​
