Question #3
The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of starch into maltose is:
A. Lactase
B. Protease
C. Amylase
D. Lipase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Amylase (ptyalin in saliva, pancreatic amylase in intestine) hydrolyzes starch (a polysaccharide) into maltose (a disaccharide) and dextrins. Lactase breaks lactose, lipase digests lipids, protease digests proteins. Salivary amylase works at neutral pH, pancreatic amylase in the small intestine. Maltase then breaks maltose into two glucose molecules.
