The enzyme maltase catalyses the hydrolysis of maltose to glucose.A scientist investigated maltase activity in two different maltose solutions, G and H.For each solution, he measured:• the total number of glucose molecules produced by complete hydrolysis of the maltose• the time taken for the complete hydrolysis of the maltose.The table shows his results.
