Answer:

c

Explanation: There are two types of digestion in the body. Mechanical and Chemical. Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth (chewing). Amylase is present in saliva, and begins the breakingdown those substances in the mouth and continues to break them down in the esophagus and stomach. Also, you can tell amylase is an enzyme by its suffix -ase. -ase means it is an enzyme.

1) B
    (I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition

2) D
    Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.

3) A

4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.
