Answer: Rigor mortis

Rigor mortis or postmortem stiffening is the one of the stages of the changes that occurs in the dead body. It initiates after primary flaccidity in which the body relaxes after death and stiffening starts after that. In this all muscles of the body are affected. It starts developing after two to six hours after death. It first begins in the eyelids, then on neck and jaw and finally to upper and lower parts of the body. It develops due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the body. The accomplishment of rigor mortis results in the softening or relaxation of the body which is called as secondary relaxation.

Due to the fact that we possess enzymes that break down the alpha linkages in starch, the glucose molecules that make up amylose
dedylja [7]

The answer is: A. True

Complex sugars or polysaccharides are composed of basic units called monosaccharides that are linked via  glycosidic bonds. Glycosidic bond is formed through condensation reactions (water is released) that occur between a hydroxyl (OH) oxygen atom on one sugar and the α-anomeric form of C-1 on the other. There are are two types of glycosidic bonds:

- 1,4 alpha ( the OH is below the glucose ring)

- 1,4 beta glycosidic bonds (the OH is above the glucose ring)

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller glucose molecules, it act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds and it works in mouth where the digestion begins (salivary amylase) . Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose; sucrase, breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose; and lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose work in small intestine and also act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.
