Amylase catalyzes a reaction with starch to directly create _______.

Biology

Maltose is produced instantly when amylase reacts with starch.

Starch is a polysaccharide molecule made of glucose units. The chemical formula of the starch is written as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ. The starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The glucose units in this starch are linked with the help of two kinds of bonds α 1,4 glycosidic linkages and α 1,6 glycosidic linkages.

This starch molecule is first hydrolyzed into shorter polysaccharides, dextrins, and maltose with a help of an enzyme called amylase. The maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose units with the help of the maltase enzyme.

Therefore, the blank can be filled with maltose.

Flauer [41]
<span>The human population is increasing, so the likelihood of a mass extinction is also increasing.

The human population is increasing, and historically, as human population has increased, species have gone extinct. As human population increases, and also destroy more habitats to pay for higher standards of living, the probability of mass extinction increases. </span>

Each ABO blood group is associated with the presence/absence of RBC antigens and the presence/absence of antibodies in the plasm
harina [27]

Answer:

a. Type O blood - No A or B antigens on RBCs-Anti-A antibodies in plasma-Anti-B antibodies in plasma

b. Type A blood - A antigen on RBCs- Anti-B antibodies in plasma

c. Type B blood - B antigen on RBCs- Anti-A antibodies in plasma

d. Type AB blood - A antigen on RBCs- B antigen on RBCs- Neither anti-A or anti-B in plasma

Explanation:

ABO blood grouping system represents multiple allelism which was discovered in humans by Karl Landsteiner. The blood group is determined by the presence or absence of A & B antigens and antibodies.

The 4 blood groups which exist in ABO system are O, A, B and AB. Also, allele A and B are co-dominant i.e. if they both will exist on the surface of an RBC then both will be equally expressed which implies that there will be no dominant or recessive allele.

Type O blood group has H antigen on the surface of RBC and has both the antibodies i.e. antibody A and B. The absence of antigens A and B makes it a universal donor.

Type A blood group has A antigen on RBC and has antibody B in the plasma.

Type B blood group has B antigen on RBC and has antibody A in the plasma.

Type AB blood group has both the antigens i.e. antigen A and B on RBC and does not have any antibody in the plasma which makes it a universal acceptor.
