Newly made blue jeans are stiff because of the large amounts of starch used in the fabric. The starch is added to make the fabric easier to cut and sew. However, it also makes the material difficult to wear comfortably. Some microbiologists came up with a way of using microbial enzymes to remove the starch before the blue jeans are sold. Which of the following enzymes would be effective at removing the starch?
A) lipase
B) cellulase
C) amylase
D) protease
E) lactase

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is C) amylase

Explanation:

Amylase is the enzyme which is present in our saliva and is also produced by the pancreas called pancreatic amylase. Amylase enzyme is used in the body to digest starch present in our food to glycogen and then glycogen into simple sugars.

Therefore as amylase is used to digest complex starch into simple carbohydrate therefore amylase is the enzyme that can be effective in removing the starch from the blue jeans.  Lipase breaks down lipid, cellulase breakdown cellulose, protease breaks down proteins, and lactase breakdown lactose.
