NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3sc059

The enzyme urease catalyses

Athe conversion of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide
Bthe hydrolysis of starch into maltose
Cthe inversion of cane sugar into glucose and fructose
Dthe hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide

Answer: D

Urease hydrolyses urea:

NH X_{2} CONH X_{2} + H X_{2} O 2 NH X_{3} + CO X_{2}

. Zymase, diastase and invertase act on glucose, starch and cane sugar respectively.
