<h2>Answer:</h2>

Salivary amylase breaks the chemical bonds of starch to form sugar monomers.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Amylase is one of the digestive enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of starch molecules into its monomers.
  • A starch molecule is made of the Glucose molecules which are bonded with each other with glycosidic linkages.
  • Salivary glands secrete saliva into the mouth cavity.
  • Saliva contains amylase for the digestion of starch are known as salivary amylase.
  • Steps in the digestion of sugars start from the action of this enzyme.

<u>Answer:</u>

Amylase is an enzyme found in saliva which breaks the chemical bonds between the sugar monomers in starches.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enzymes are a type of protein which are bound to perform a specific function. Amylase is an enzyme responsible to break down the starch, which is one complex kind of a carbohydrate, in the food that we eat.

This salivary enzyme initiates the digestion process by breaking the long chain of complex carbohydrates, amylopectin and amylose, into smaller sugar molecules called maltose. These molecules, maltose, are made up of glucose sub-units which are the monomers here.

Plants can’t walk and animals can’t use the sun to make energy. agree/disagree? why?
Ivenika [448]

Agree

Explanation:

It is very correct that plants cannot walk and animals can't use energy from the sun.

Locomotion is the movement of body from one place to another.

The process by which plants manufacture their food using sunlight is called photosynthesis.

  • Plants are fixed, sessile and cannot move about.
  • Their root penetrate deep into the earth by which they derive their own nourishment.
  • Walking is one attribute of higher animals.
  • Manufacturing of food using sunlight is in the exclusive preserve of plants.

In a dihybrid cross of two heterozygous individuals, you expect a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the offspring, but observe a ratio
almond37 [142]

Answer:

e. Epistatic interaction of the two genes

Explanation:

The 9:7 ratio is typical of the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis.

The expected phenotypic ratiio of the offsrping of a dihybrid cross is:

9 A_B_

3 A_bb

3 aaB_

1 aabb

In the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis, the A_bb, aaB_ and aabb individuals all have the same phenotype, making for the ratio 9:7. What those three genotypes have in common is that in all of them at least one of the two genes  is homozygous recessive (either <em>aa</em> or <em>bb</em>).

This usually happens one the products of genes A and B are enzymes of the same metabolic pathway.

Whenever both A and B are present, the pathway can produce the final product and a certain phenotype. However, if any of the dominant alleles is missing, the enzyme is not produced and therefore the final product of pathway is not produced, giving the other phenotype.
