Hello, I figured your question was missing its options so I went online to find them. Here they are:

You have just eaten a meal high in complex carbohydrates. Which of the following enzymes will help to digest the meal?

A. gastrin

B. amylase

C. trypsin

D. cholecystokinin

Answer:

The correct answer is: amylase.

Explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme used to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. A meal high in complex carbohydrates will be digested thanks to the presence of amylase. This enzyme is present in the saliva, where the chemical process of digestion begins. Amylase also acts in the salivary gland and the pancreas by hydrolyzing starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides that will later be converted into glucose for the body to use as energy supply.

Gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates the secretion of gastric acid. It's not an enzyme.

Trypsin is an enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins. If you've eaten a meal high in carbohydrates, trypsin will not be of much use.

Cholecystokinin is also a peptide hormone that stimulates the digestion of fat and protein, which won't happen with a meal high in carbohydrates. It's also not an enzyme, but a hormone.

A temporary lake create salt flats in Death Valley when Holocene lakes began to evaporate.

Explanation:

"Each time it has rained since, a new layer has been added. The flat is a vast area covered in salt that was deposited from evaporated water. When the water runs down the mountain, it dissolves minerals that precipitate out as the water evaporates."

Leviafan [203]

There are no choices but the reason why we tend to value friends as we grow older is because these are bonds that we create on our own. These are people who have been there for us throughout our lives. They are our link with the outside world since they are not our family members. The longer we are friends with others, the deeper that bond becomes.
