The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, also called ptyalin, which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin that can be further broken down in the small intestine. About 30% starch digestion takes place in the mouth cavity.

Answer:

1. 3 aerobic exercises: long distance running such as a marathon, swimming (long distsnces), cycling (long distances). Most effective: the most effective exercise that is anaerobic doesn't exist. It all depends on the sport you are training for. Sport specific training is key. If you are a runer then running would be best. If you are swimmer then swimming is best etc. That being said,  intensity matters as well. If you are not training at specific intensities that will stress your body then an adaptation will not be possible.

2. 3 anaerboic exercises: weight training, sprinting, plyometrics. Most effective: again depends on your goals.

3. AN AEROBIC SPORT: soccer

an anaerobic sport: powerlfiting

soccer requires aerobic glycolysis as your primary energy system. Uses carbohydrates as the primary fuel source. It is a long duration sport that requires one to run and sprint.

powerlifting: is a fast explosive sport. Doesnt require carbs. It relies on phosocreatine as the primary fuel source. Explosive movements at high intensities with maximal exertion.

Explanation:

see above.

Elan Coil [88]
The advantages of seeing a specialist vs a primary care physician is that the specialist knows exactly about that field of medicine. One circumstance for a specialist: Your eye is bleeding and red, you might want to go see an ophthalmologist because they focus on the eyes. One circumstance for a primary care physician: You feel weak, dizzy and you are vomiting, you have no specific area of pain, so you might want to see a primary care physician because they know about different fields of medicine instead of just focusing on one.

JulijaS [17]
Hey! The answers (if the question requires two answers) is chemical spills and fires. Of only one answer is required then fires.

Reason for first answer (chemical spills and fires) it mentions that Kyle makes sure that "the storage of chemicals--" are all correct, having that being said he makes sure that there are no chemical spills. The reason for fire is becuase it mention that he makes sure the oxygen tanks are properly stored. Well certain chemicals (when mixed with oxygen) can cuase a fire, therefore fire is a good answer for rather it's a two options answer or just one. Hope this helps!
