Of the three salivary glands (Sublingual, submandibular and parotid glands), the parotid is the largest. They are all paired.  The parotids are located on either side of the mandibular ramus. It produces ptyalin, an alpha-amylase, and is responsible for 20% of the total saliva content produced into the mouth.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system is activated to restore the body's energy level after the emergency conditions. This division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the digestion and absorption of nutrients so that body cells obtain and conserve energy.

Some of the responses generated by activated parasympathetic division are increased activity of glands associated with the digestive system and increased the contraction of smooth muscles of the digestive tract. The parasympathetic nervous system also slows down the responses required for physical activities such as heart rate and breathing rate.

3. Large molecules and wastes move<br> through the membrane through
madreJ [45]

Answer: Large molecules and wastes move through the membrane through forms of active transport- endocytosis and exocytosis.

Explanation:

Molecules are moved across the cell membrane via different mechanisms like diffusion, facilitated diffusion and passive transport; however, some very large molecules require specialized types of active transport to cross over- these are endocytosis and exocytosis.

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of <em>invagination;</em> piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle. Different methods of endocytosis such as <em>phagocytosis, pinocytosis </em>and receptor-mediated <em>endocytosis</em>, take in cells,  water and targeted substances respectively.

Like endocytosis, the particles (signal proteins, neurotransmitters and waste material) are surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, in exocytosis, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and merges with the plasma membrane’s interior in a process <em>opposite to </em>endocytosis; material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.

Complete hydrolysis of a nonapeptide gave 3 ala, 2 phe, 2 asp, gly, and ser. Reaction of the nonapeptide with Sanger's reagent (
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Alanine is obtained as the first amino acid, taking into account that the reaction with the Sanger reagent hydrolyzes N- (2,4-dinitrophenyl) alanine. thus with the fragments of the partial hydrolysis they are organized to create a polypetidic chain

ala-asp-gly-ala

gly-ala-phe

phe-be-wing

be-wing-phe-asp

We obtain that the correct sequence of the peptide is "ala-asp-gly-ala-phe-ser-ala-phe-asp"

Bacteria from the soil absorb nitrogen from the air and convert it into ammonium. This is an example of _____.
True [87]
<span>Nitrogen fixation

This process creates organic compounds, including ammonium, that contribute to the growth of a plant in much the way fertilizer does. Many plants have evolved to facilitate nitrogen fixing bacteria in their roots as to promote production of these organic compounds when the soil quality is poor or lacking in these bacteria.</span>
