Which reaction is an example of catabolism?
|
|
photolysis of water
|
|
|
denaturation of a protein by a change in pH
|
|
|
production of maltose from amylose by amylase
|
|
|
condensation of glucose to form starch
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The most well-known examples of catabolic reactions include-glycolysis, digestion of food, and beta-oxidation. These reactions involve the breakdown of large organic molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of conversion of starch to maltose occurs during digestion. The pancreas and the salivary glands secrete an enzyme called diastase which converts starch to maltose. Maltose is produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. This reaction is catalysed by an enzyme called diastase.
