In the major pathway of ethanol metabolism the 2 enzymes involved are alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and thiokinase.
ethanol + NAD+ <=> acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ (ethanol dehydrogenase)
acetaldehyde + NAD+ <=> acetate + NADH + H+ (aldehyde dehydrogenase)
acetate + coA + ATP <=> acetyl coA + AMP + PPi (thiokinase)

Is glucose and fructose are metamers?
Glucose and fructose are metamers. This is a term that is used in chemistry to refer to one of two or more chemical compounds that are isomers.
Enzymes used in glycolysis?
glucose, fructose, glyceraldehyde
Sucrase molecule be used to hydrolyze sucrose?
Yes, into glucose and fructose.
Why is fructose rather than glucose used in slimming foods?
it tastes sweeter and has less calories than glucose
What two molecules are used to make glucose?
Sucrose and Lactose. Sucrose is made from glucose and fructose, and Lactose is made from glucose and galactose. Hope this helps! (:
How are Carbohydrase and Isomerase used in food industry?
Carbohydrase is the general term for an enzyme that breaks down different types of carbohydrates. Amylase is one that converts starch into glucose. Isomerase can convert glucose into fructose. Fructose has a sweeter taste than glucose and therefore does not need to be used as much. This means that fructose can be used in 'diet' foods as the food will contain less calories.
What enzymes are used in slimming foods?
A carbohydrase can be used to convert starch syrup into sugar syrup. An enzyme called isomerase can convert glucose in sugar syrup into fructose syrup. Fructose is much sweeter than glucose. A small amount of fructose in a food can replace a larger amount of glucose without losing the sweet taste. This is useful in preparing slimming food since a small amount of fructose is less fattening than a larger amount of glucose.
What enzyme is used to convert glucose to fructose in yeast?
Amylaze breaks down the starch and all the food in your mouth at the very start of digestion.

What is a zymase?
Zymase substrate is the chemical on which the enzyme zymase acts on. Substrate used could depend on the variety of yeast from which the enzyme is extracted. But, the common substrates are glucose, fructose and maltose.
Enzymes used in glycolysis?
glucose, fructose, glyceraldehyde
What results from the hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase?
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.
Sucrase molecule be used to hydrolyze sucrose?
Yes, into glucose and fructose.

What is an example of disaccharide?
Disaccharides are a type of sugar that are formed when two monosaccharides bond together. e.g. sucrose (table sugar) is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Maltose is a disaccharide of two glucose molecules.
What are reactants and products of the fructose plus glucose equals sucrose reaction?
reactants: fructose and glucose product: sucrose
