Answer:

Enzyme- Peptidase/protease

Explanation:

According to this question, a student is conducting an experiment to determine the roles of molecules in metabolic processes such as digestion. Based on what she found out that the molecule, which itself can be broken down into amino acids, can also break down proteins into amino acids, this suggests that the molecule being described is a PROTEOLYTIC ENZYME.

This is because an enzyme is made up of proteins which can be denatured or broken down into its simplest unit (amino acids) and also, a substance that breaks down amino acid is said to be PROTEOLYTIC.

However, another observation that the molecule is found in high concentrations in the small intestine was made, hence, the enzyme is a PEPTIDASE OR PROTEASE, which are secreted into the small intestine by the pancreas to aid digestion of proteins.

NNADVOKAT [17]
Two main functions of polysaccharides in living things are:
1. structural components
2. energy storage.

Those polysaccharides that are not easily broken down are used as structural components. Some of them are cellulose in plants and chitin in insects and crustacean.
On the other hand, starch and glycogen are easily broken down, so they serve as energy storage. <span>When energy is needed immediately, they break down to glucose and great amount of energy is released, </span>

Paha777 [63]

The step that is part in the formation of the batholiths is a single pluton enlarges into a huge mass by melting the rock around it. A single pluton does not enlarge into a huge mass, instead, it will melt due to the buoyant magma that surrounds it.
