if experimental conditions are chosen that do not allow the action of alpha - amylase or beta - amylase, which of the following would be true
a total extract will be normal, but fermentability will be very low
b total extract will be very low, allowing very little fermentability
c total extract will be normal, but fermentability will be very high
d total extract will be very high, but fermentability will be very low

Explanation:

Alpha - amylase and beta - amylase are enzymes that break down starch into fermentable sugars. Without their action, less starch is converted to fermentable sugars. The total extract (which includes non - fermentable and fermentable components) may not be affected in terms of overall quantity in a way that it becomes extremely high or low in a non - enzymatic context. But fermentability will be low due to lack of sugar production for fermentation.

Answer:

A. Total extract will be normal, but fermentability will be very low
