Explanation:

Amylase is a digestive enzyme secreted and is responsible for breaking down starch.

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.

olganol [36]

Answer:

The haploid structure of the plant, during a stage in plant's life cycle, is known as the gametophyte.

Explanation:

The life cycle of plants includes a haploid generation and a diploid generation. Both the structures are multicellular.

The diploid structure of a plant is known as sporophyte. This structure produces spores via meiotic division.

Whereas, the haploid structure of the plant, known as the gametophyte, is formed from spore and produces haploid gametes.

What is the eventual fate of many discarded water bottles tapped answers?

ira [324]

A little percent of it (around 9.5%) goes to recycling while a large percent goes to the landfill, ocean and beaches, where it will take years for the plastic to decompose and leak pollutants into the soil and water, threatening the health and safety of marine life. There is a new recycling method where the plastics are shredded and mix with the other components to make hollow blocks for construction of structures.

Explain Mendelian inheritance. Include the terms 'dominant' and 'recessive' in your explanation.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel (1822 - 1884) who is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS was an Austrian monk that contributed immensely to the principle of inheritance. He worked and conducted several experiments with the pea plant (Pisium sativum).

Mendel inheritance explains how traits are passed down from parents to offsprings. Mendel proposed three laws that governs inheritance namely: law of dominance, law of segregation and law of independent assortment of genes. The law of dominance states that one allele of a gene will always mask the phenotypic expression of another allele of the same gene in a heterozygous state.

The masking allele is called DOMINANT ALLELE while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE ALLELE.
