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.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer would be calcium ion and cAMP.

The secondary messengers can be classified into three major class:

  1. Cyclic nucleotide for example cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)
  2. DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP₃ (inositol triphosphate)
  3. Calcium ions (Ca⁺⁺)  

Hence, from the given options, calcium ion and cAMP would make the correct choice.
