Question

identify the key parts of this enzyme reaction.
product
enzyme
substrate
active site
type of reaction

Explanation:

1. Product: Glucose and fructose are the end - results of the reaction, formed from the breakdown of sucrose.
2. Enzyme: Sucrase is the biological catalyst that speeds up the reaction.
3. Substrate: Sucrose is the starting molecule that the enzyme acts upon.
4. Active site: The region on the enzyme (marked as X) where the substrate binds.
5. Type of reaction: Hydrolysis as water is used to break down sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Answer:

product: glucose, fructose
Enzyme: sucrase
substrate: sucrose
active site: X
