Salivary glands - saliva to convert starch into sugar.

Stomach - (1) hydrochloric acid - to kill the bacteria entering the stomach as well as to make the medium acidic for the action of pepsin. (2) mucus - neutralises the action of hydrochloric acid. (3) pepsin - digests proteins.

Liver - (1) bile juice - makes the medium alkaline for the action of pancreatic enymes. (2) bile salts - emulisify fats.

Pancreas - (1) trypsin - digests proteins. (2) amylase - digests carbohydrates. (3) lipase - digests fats.

Small Intestine - convert carbohydrates to glucose, fats to fatty acids / glycerol, converts proteins to amino acids.

Answer:

An enzyme refers to a kind of protein found inside a cell. The enzymes result in the chemical reactions within the body. The function to accelerate the rate of chemical reaction in order to support life. The enzymes in the body assist in performing very essential functions. These comprise eradicating toxins, building muscle, and dissociating particles of food at the time of digestion.  

Enzymes are needed for performing the proper function of the digestive system. Digestive enzymes are primarily produced in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. However, even salivary glands generate digestive enzymes in order to dissociate the molecules of food at the time of chewing.  

There are three prime kinds of digestive enzymes, which are classified on the basis of the reactions they catalyze. These are protease, amylase, and lipase.

Once inside the lungs, these arteries split into increasingly smaller branches that eventually reach the pulmonary capillary bed
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

This is the site of gaseous exchange

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange is the mechanism by which oxygen is substituted for CO₂ in the body. CO₂ laden blood is carried to the alveoli, which is wrapped with numerous capillary beds and with walls that are thin. When a person inhales, the difference in the partial pressure of the various gases ( oxygen and carbon dioxide) causes them t move down their concentration gradients, with CO₂ diffusion into the lungs from red blood cells, and oxygen binding to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells, after which they are carried to all body tissues for cellular respiration. During exhalation, the CO₂ in the lungs is expelled to the exterior and the process repeats.

The name of an organism that is used in general conversation is called the _________ name. luoa
Sergio [31]

The name of an organism that is used in general conversation is called the  Binomial name.

<h3>What is binomial name?</h3>

Binomial nomenclature, also known as binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, though they can also be based on words from other languages. It is also known as the "two-term naming system" or "binomial nomenclature." A name of this type is referred to as a Latin name, a binomial name (which is also abbreviated to just "binomial"), a binomen, a binominal name, or another type of scientific name.

The generic name, which makes up the first part of the name, indicates the genus to which the species belongs, while the specific name, also known as a specific epithet, identifies the species within the genus. For instance, the species Homo sapiens and the genus Homo both contain contemporary humans.
