Solution

Sucrase, the protein that facilitates the hydrolysis of sucrose, would be classified as a catalytic protein.

Here's why:

  1. Proteins are classified based on their function in the body.

  2. Hormonal proteins are messengers carrying instructions from DNA to regulate the metabolism.

  3. Structural proteins provide support. For example, collagen and elastin are critical components of connective tissue such as cartilage, and keratin is found in hard or filamentous structures such as hair, nails, feathers, hooves, and some animal shells.

  4. Transport proteins move molecules and ions across the membrane. They can also carry them throughout the body in the bloodstream.

  5. Catalytic proteins are enzymes. They speed up chemical reactions in the body.

  6. Sucrase is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose, a process called hydrolysis. Therefore, it falls under the category of catalytic proteins.
