A. would sucrase be classified as a oxidoreductase, a transferase, a lysase, an isomerase, a hydrolase, or a ligase enzyme? explain your choice. b. could sucrase be used to break down another disaccharide, such as lactose? explain your reasoning.

Question: A. would sucrase be classified as a oxidoreductase, a transferase, a lysase, an isomerase, a hydrolase, or a ligase enzyme? explain your choice. b. could sucrase be used to break down another disaccharide, such as lactose? explain your reasoning.

a. Sucrase would be classified as a hydrolase enzyme since it catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, into its monosaccharide components.

b. Sucrase cannot break down lactose since lactose is a different disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. Lactose requires a specific enzyme called lactase to be hydrolyzed into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose.
