    Base your answers to questions 14 on the information below.

    In one method of making bread, starch is broken down into glucose. Zymase, an enzyme present in yeast, acts as a catalyst for the reaction in which the glucose reacts to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide gas causes the bread dough to rise. The balanced equation below represents the catalyzed reaction.
