The answer is <span>B. contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of proteins.
Saliva is watery substance secreted by salivatory glands. <em>It cleanses the mouth</em> and maintenance oral hygiene. <em>It moistens the food</em>, so the created food bolus could easier pass into the esophagus. It also <em>carries food chemicals to taste receptors</em> so they can be tested. It contains enzymes involved in the food digestions. Some of them are amylase, which begins the breakdown of the starch, and lipase, which begins the breakdown of triglycerides. <u>There are no enzymes in the saliva that break down proteins</u>.</span>
Answer:
Cyanobacteria
Explanation:
Cyanobacteria were the first photosynthetic autotrophs that used water molecules as the source of electrons. Cyanobacteria were the first autotrophs that performed oxygenic photosynthesis and carried out the splitting of water.
The process of splitting water released oxygen as a gas (O2) which was released in the atmosphere of the earth as a by-product. This led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere. Some cyanobacteria can fix nitrogen and have specialized cells called heterocyst which serve as the site for nitrogen fixation.
