Why will salivary amylase not break down protein

Biology
1 answer:
Free_Kalibri [48]3 years ago
6 0
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that is found in saliva in the mouth. It is an enzyme that only recognizes the glycosidic bonds between molecules of simple sugars that form the carbohydrate polymers. It specifically targets these bonds and breaks them and does not recognize any other bonds of different substances such as protein. Salivary amylase is alkaline in nature and cannot work in the stomach. It breaks the glycosidic bonds between the glucose molecules in starch to form maltose. Maltose is later broken down further by pancreatic amylase, into individual units of glucose.

Question 7 of 34
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

B. Excretory system

Explanation:

<em>Because the excretory system is made to remove urine which consists of waste materials such as excess salts and water. The kidneys are present in it as well. If there is too much water in the body the excretory system will produce urine with higher water concentration so whiteish urine will be produced and if there is a low amount of water in the body the excretory system will produce urine with lower water concentration so yelloish or greenish urine will be produced</em>

Describe the structure and function of a root hair cell
Nadya [2.5K]
Root hair cells absorb minerals and water from the soil.


The water absorbed by the root hair cells passes through the plant in xylem tubes, to then reach the leaves. The energy from the sun is then used to convert water(H2O) into hydrogen (H) and oxygen(O2).

Internal capsule is part of which pathway,motor or sensory?
sergeinik [125]

The Internal capsule is part of the motor pathway and is therefore denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Internal capsule?</h3>

This is characterized by a a white matter which is located in the inferomedial part of both cerebral hemisphere of the brain. The brain serves as the control center of the central nervous system which comprises of a rich network of neurons interconnected together for prompt response to different types of stimuli.

The internal capsule however functions together with the pyramidal motor pathway during the processing of different types of stimuli and information hence it being chosen as the most appropriate choice.

The Gap 2(G2) stage of Interphase

Explanation:

In a eukaryotic cell, the cell cycle refers to both -cell growth and cell division - leading to the production of identical daughter cells. The cell cycle is basically divided into interphase (I) and mitosis (M).

The interphase, during which the cell grows and replicates its DNA takes place by the following stages – Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (S), Gap 2(G2).

The cells grow and increase in size during the G1 period.

The G2 phase or the second gap phase the cell utilizes energy and produces necessary proteins for undergoing chromosome manipulation and other organelles and prepares the cell for mitotic cell division.

DNA replication mainly takes place in the Synthesis or the S stage of interphase with each of the chromosomes (46) is replicated.  

Due to this DNA replication in the S stage, its content is doubled (4-N DNA content) when it enters the G2 stage and all the DNA is found within a single nucleus.
