<span>Amylase needs an optimum pH for its activity. It is in the range of 6-7. Below or above pH will denature this enzyme. The pH level is optimum for this enzyme in the mouth and hence it catalyses the break down of sugar. The pH level of stomach is lower than its optimum level duet to the activity of gastric acid. Hence the enzyme becomes inactive in the stomach.</span>

Ksju [112]

Answer:

<u>They produce the materials needed by the sperm to travel to the egg</u>

Explanation:

Seminal vesicles are glands located near the distal end of the vas deferens. They are responsible mainly for the secretion of seminal fluid as the sperm are moved along towards the ejaculatory duct. The seminal fluid contains a substance which stimulates the sperms. The seminal fluid also contains simple sugars e.g. fructose which provide nourishment for the sperms.
