Answer:

"I should chew sugar-free gum or drink water to reduce dry mouth."

Explanation:

Clonidine is an agonist at the alpha-2 receptors ( adrenergic receptors ).

There is an area in the central nervous system (lateral hypothalamus) responsible for the secretion of saliva ,as the clonidine acts on the central alpha-2 receptors ,it causes inhibition of the secretion of the saliva resulting in dry mouth.

As the alpha-2 receptors are inhibitory receptors (Gi-coupled ) clonidine results in decreased sympathetic autonomic nervous system outflow by activating alpha-2 receptors in the CNS.

uysha [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.They secrete enzymes that break down dead matter or living organisms and absorb the released nutrients.

Explanation:

Most of the fungi are saprophytic which means they grow on dead and decaying organic matter like fallen trees, leaves, and dead animals and get nutrition by digesting these dead organic matter.

Fungi do not have stomach so they secrete enzymes like α- amylase, cellulase, xylanase, etc from their hyphae that helps in digesting complex organic molecules into simple form which can easily be absorbed by these fungus.  

By decomposing these organic matter they recycle the nutrients and clean the pollution from the environment. So the correct answer is A.
