The maltose molecule can be broken down into two individual glucose molecules with the of an enzyme produced within a cell. which of the following changes is most likely to slow down this reaction? . a. adding more maltose molecules. b. increasing the volume of the cell. c. adding more of the enzyme. d. increasing the ph within the cell.

D. Increasing the pH within the cell.

Maltose is also known as malt sugar and commonly found in germinating grains. Thus, maltase is enzyme that split the disaccharides maltose into two glucose molecules and can be found within the small intestine of vertebrates which includes human and animals. However, increase in pH of the cell will generally result in incomplete loss of enzyme activities thereby slowing down the enzyme reactions.
