Salivary amylase is an enzyme released from the salivary glands that breaks some of the chemical bonds in?

Biology
1 answer:
sasho [114]1 year ago
8 0

Saliva contains the enzyme, salivary amylase. This enzyme breaks the <u>bonds between the monomeric sugar units of disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and starches</u>.

The salivary amylase breaks down amylose and amylopectin into smaller chains of glucose, called dextrins and maltose.

Saliva contains special enzymes that help digest the starches in your food. An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb.

For eg- Amylase is responsible for the breaking of the bonds in starches, polysaccharides, and complex carbohydrates into easier to absorb simple sugars. Salivary amylase is the first step in the chemical digestion of food.

A cell's DNA is made of 30% cytosine. What percent of the cell's DNA is guanine? What percent of the cell's DNA is adenine?
Volgvan

Answer:

Together, adenine and thymine compose 70% of the segment. This means that 30% of the section is composed of guanine-cytosine pairs. Since these two bases will be equal in quantity, 15% of the DNA section will be cytosine bases

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables
trasher [3.6K]

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.

When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.

Bengal Tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) have coat colors that are either golden (the dominant trait) or white. In examining a pop
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

Frequency of white tigers = 4%

population of tigers = 200

number of heterozygotes = 10

<u>Determine the actual genotype frequency of Heterozygotes </u>

frequency of heterozygotes = Number of heterozygotes / population

= ( 10 / 200 ) * 100

= 0.05 * 100 = 5%
