Why is salivary amylase active for only an hour or so, whereas lingual lipase isn't active until reaching the stomach

Biology

leva [86]2 years ago

Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.

The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.

Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.

patriot [66]

Answer:

DNA, ribosomes, plasma membrane and cytoplasm are the structures that are found in both.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the organisms that do not have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles and eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus and another membrane-bound organelle.  

Apart from this there are some similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell like both have a highly selective cell membrane, they both have cytoplasm, both have DNA and ribosomes which is responsible for the expression of genes. Therefore DNA, ribosomes, plasma membrane, and cytoplasm are the structures that are common in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

olga55 [171]

The question is not complete but it can be answered in general as the plants cannot survive in acidic conditions.

Answer: High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.

Explanation:

The plants that were kept in the higher acidic conditions are less likely to grow in higher acidic conditions.

The plants that were kept in more basic conditions will also not grow properly as the pH of the soil should be neutral, slightly acidic or slightly basic.

The plants that was kept as a control on the pH of 7 will grow the best as the pH is optimum for the growth of the plants.

The conclusion is high acidity is harmful for the life of the plants.

stiks02 [169]

Step one: Travel approximately 18 inches up the underside of the branch you are removing. Cut up about halfway through the branch.

Step two: Move to the top side of the branch. Choose a location an inch further out from your first cut. Carefully cut down until the branch breaks free.

Step three: Find the branch collar on your trunk. This is stem tissue around the base of the branch. . Make a complete cut with a 45-degree angle kicking out from the base of the tree.
