Diastase is an Enzyme

- Diastase is an enzyme, and option (a) states that diastase is an enzyme, which is correct.
- Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.
- Diastase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into maltose.
- It is commonly found in germinating grains and seeds, as well as in saliva and pancreatic secretions in animals.
- Diastase plays a crucial role in the digestion of carbohydrates by breaking down complex starch molecules into smaller units that can be easily absorbed by the body.

Acetophenone is not an Ether

- Acetophenone is a ketone, not an ether, and option (b) is incorrect.
- Ketones are a class of organic compounds containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms.
- Acetophenone has a phenyl group (C6H5-) attached to the carbonyl carbon.
- It is commonly used as a solvent, flavoring agent, and intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds.
- Ethers, on the other hand, have an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon groups.

Cycloheptane is not an Aromatic Compound

- Cycloheptane is a cycloalkane, not an aromatic compound, and option (c) is incorrect.
- Aromatic compounds are a class of organic compounds that contain a benzene ring or have similar stability and reactivity characteristics.
- Cycloheptane is a cycloalkane with a seven-membered carbon ring and no double bonds.
- It is a saturated hydrocarbon and does not exhibit the characteristic stability and reactivity of aromatic compounds.

Correct Answer: Option (a) Diastase is an enzyme.
