Which chemical reaction is catalysed by maltase?
A
glycogen
B
maltose
C
maltose
D
starch
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Maltase is an economically valuable enzyme that is used to catalyze the hydrolytic process of maltose and yields d-glucose as a product.

Detailed explanation-2: -The enzyme diastase converts starch into maltose. During this process, the diastase enzymes start acting on the starches, breaking them up into sugar sand this process is called saccharification. The enzyme maltase is responsible for the conversion of maltose to glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maltose is converted to two molecules of glucose by the enzyme maltase, which hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maltase is an enzyme secreted by the small intestine that catalyzes the hydrolysis of disaccharides maltose into a simple sugar called glucose.
