Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amylase is the enzyme that can break down starch into smaller units such as maltose, glucose, and dextrin. Glucose phosphatase is an enzyme that converts glucose-6-phosphate to glucose, alcohol dehydrogenase metabolizes alcohol, lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose, while maltase converts maltose into glucose.
