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.

The principle difference between where salt marshes and mangrove forests grow is _______.

bekas [8.4K]

Mangrove forests cannot withstand freezing temperature that is why they can only grow at tropical and subtropical latitudes whereas salt marshes grow in middle to high latitudes. Mangrove forests can be recognized by their tangle of roots that allow them to stand still on stilts above water. The roots of the mangrove trees slow the movement of tidal waters causing the sediments to settle out of water and build up the muddy bottom. For salt marshes, they are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by salt water brought by tidal waves. The difference between the two is that mangrove forests are woodlands and salt marshes are coastal wetlands.
