Maltase is an enzyme that breaks down the disaccharide maltose into glucose molecules. The reaction usually takes place at a pH between 6 and 7. Which of the following best describes what would happen if the pH were decreased to 3?

AMaltase would not be able to function outside of its optimal pH range.

BMaltase would react with glucose molecules to form a new disaccharide.

CMaltose would break down into twice as many glucose molecules.

DMaltose would break down into monosaccharides other than glucose.
