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.

Is zymase an enzyme or a thick-walled spore?
A Zymase
What type of enzymes are found in yeast?
Zymase, and Amylase.
What is the output of fermentation?
Lactic acid and co2/ Depending on the basis of enzyme available; fermentation also results in the formation of Ethyl alchohol and CO2 if Zymase from yeast cells is available.
What will happen to a yeast and glucose suspension when mixed with lime water?
At 37 degrees Celsius and anaerobic conditions, the zymase enzymes will eat away the calcium from calcium carbonate (limewater). the reaction eventually stops when carbonate ions are formed CO3 2- which kills the yeast. reaction stops. this reaction is commonly known as "revenge reaction"
What is the economic importance of yeast?
Yeast contains zymase group of enzymes and has great quality of fermenting carbohydrate into alcohol. So it is used in breweries and bakeries.In bakeries, Sec. Cerevisiae is used for bread making. Fermentation releases CO2 which bubbles out during heating that make the bread porous.Yeast is rich in vitamin been and protein. It is used in the productions of vitaminised food.It is also used in the production of riboflavin.It is used in the manufacture of various syrups and confectionary items.Various foods like milk and sugar products are spoiled by yeast.There would be no raised bread industry without baker's yeast. ( I do not think you would really care for flat bread ) That industry is a basic economic driver of the economy.They there is the beer industry using yeast. Another economic giant.
Is zymase an enzyme or a thick-walled spore?
A Zymase
What enzymes do you use in the industry?
ZYMASE
What type of enzymes are found in yeast?
Zymase, and Amylase.
What enzyme converts glucose to ethanol during fermentation?
Zymase, found in yeast
Is fermentation a process by which vesicles release their contents outside the cell?
no During fermentation glucose is converted into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide by the enzyme Zymase. This zymase enzyme is released from yeast cells during fermentation. Therefore, the answer is yes.
What is the purpose of yeast in fermentation?
yeast provides the enzyme zymase which catalyses the fermentation process.
What are the reactants of alcoholic fermentation?
C6H12O6+zymase+yeast---> 2 C2H5OH+2CO2+ENERGY
Is the distillation of wine to produce brandy a physical or chemical change?
The change involved in the distillation of wine is chemical. The original chemical make up of glucose changes: (C6H1206 + Zymase = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Zymase). The change is chemical because the glucose chemically changes into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
What enzyme is used to change glucose into fructose?
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)
What will happens to the bottle with yeast and sugar solution is placed in hot water?
Yeast is a fungus and it produces extracellular enzyme ZYMASE whose activity is optimum in warm upto 35 centigrade condition.So when zymase is provided with warm temperature with the help of hot water it starts its catalytic activity on sugar and FERMENTATION takes place which converts sugar solution into ETHYL ALCOHOL WHEREAS CARBONDIOOXIDE evolves as gas.
What is produced fermentation?
Lactic acid and co2/ Depending on the basis of enzyme available; fermentation also results in the formation of Ethyl alchohol and CO2 if Zymase from yeast cells is available.
Name a biological process other than digestion that involves enzymes?
Fermentation. the conversion of sugar into alcohol.. glucose (C6H12O6) + zymase(yeast) -> ethanol (2C2H5OH) + carbon diioxide (2CO2)
