The bacterial genus Bacillus can utilize starch as a nutrient by splitting the starch molecule into smaller molecules of glucose with the addition of water. The enzymes to do this would be classified as

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The enzymes would be classified as amylases. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Enzyme classification: Enzymes are classified based on the type of reaction they catalyze. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Amylases: These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into glucose. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Hydrolysis reaction: The reaction involves the addition of water to break down complex molecules. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Enzyme classification by reaction type ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Amylases are enzymes that break down starch into glucose through hydrolysis, which is the addition of water to split molecules. ⚹◊What is the specific enzyme classification for enzymes that break down starch into glucose molecules in Bacillus bacteria?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
