Hi. I am new to the Brainly family. It is nice to meet you all.

If 5 ml of amylase, an enzyme which digest carbohydrates, is added to a vial with 10 ml of water and 10 ml of sucrose. At the end of the reactions, how much amylase do you expect to find in the vial?

Answer:

5ml

Explanation:

Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalyst in living systems, as they help speeden up the rate of biochemical reactions. However, one unique characteristics possessed by enzymes unlike substrates is that they do not get used in the reaction. Instead, they are released from the substrate-enzyme binding after the reaction and can be recycled.

Hence, in a case whereby 5ml of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates, is added to a vial containing 10 ml of water and 10 ml of sucrose. The amount of amylase expected to be in the vial at the end of the reaction is 5ml because it will not get used up during the reaction. Hence, the volume of enzyme remains constant after reaction.
