Answer & explanation:
Amylase is part of enzymes, a group of large peptide molecules (formed by amino acids) whose role is to catalyze reactions in order to facilitate the synthesis of other biological molecules.
Amylase is found mainly in saliva (in the form of salivary amylase, or ptialin), acting in the breakdown of starch and glycogen in foods, reducing them to smaller particles, facilitating their digestion and absorption.
The action of enzymes depends on certain specific conditions, called optimal conditions. In the case of <u>amylase</u>, it depends on an optimum pH of 7 (neutral) and an optimum temperature of approximately 37 ° C.
This enzyme can still act between 35 ° C and 40 ° C, but below 35 ° C it is inactivated, preventing its functions from being performed, and above 40 ° C it suffers denaturation, causing changes in its structures.
Thus, it is concluded that the <u>temperature</u> (under optimal conditions) is important for enzymes because it keeps their actions and structures in proper operation.
D - an increase in tree cover in the tundra.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D. Light and some other factors are necessary for chlorophyll production
Explanation:
By this experiment, it is clear that light is the major factor that helps in the production of chlorophyll in seedlings or plants. In this study, placing the seeds in the light turns 75 seedlings green which is possible by the production of the green pigment, chlorophyll only. So, it is proved that light is a key factor in the production of chlorophyll.
Besides light, there must be some other factors (mineral nutrition and chemical metabolites) that also play role in the production of chlorophyll or increase or decrease of the chlorophyll production as few seedlings did not turn green in the study.
