The enzyme maltase catalyzes the break down of maltose into glucose. A technician added maltase to a solution of maltose to be incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes. Samples were taken from the reaction tube every five minutes, and the glucose and maltose concentrations were measured. No maltose was left in the reaction after 15 minutes.

Which of the following graphs represents the change in glucose and maltose concentrations over time?

• 
• 
• 
•
