Answer:

c. secondary consumer level

Explanation:

Most secondary extinctions are due to direct bottom‐up effects: consumers go extinct when their resources are lost. Secondary extinctions due to trophic cascades and disruption of predator‐mediated coexistence also occur.

Answer: Tertiary consumers

Explanation:

The most vulnerable tropic level that can extinct is tertiary consumer. The tertiary consumer level consists the group of animals that have limited area for living, limited food for eating.

The animals on the tertiary level is more prone to extinction. They are more susceptible to disease, as they dependent on the smaller animals for their food.

So, they are more vulnerable to extinction.

Explanation:

Amylase is a digestive enzyme secreted and is responsible for breaking down <u>starch.</u>

Digestion describes the intake, chemical and physical breakdown, absorption of nutrients and excretion of food. Alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas, is found in human saliva; it catalyzes the breakdown of starch into glucose

Further Explanation:

Food is chemically and mechanically broken down into into smaller particles. This begins in the mouth, where food is mechanically crushed by the teeth, and mixed with saliva to allow water based enzymes like lingual lipase and amylase to work;- it's then transported to the stomach via the esophagus.

Alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas, is also found in human saliva; it catalyzes the hydrolysis, or breakdown of starch into glucose in the stomach as gastric amylase. Amylase acts on polysaccharides bonds at random points along the chain by splitting the α 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
