Answer:

option d, b, c

Explanation:

Starch molecules taken into the mouth from food substances are processed to an extent of 30% of its digestion. this is carried out by a specialized protein/ an enzyme that is present in the saliva; called  amylase or ptyalin. this enzyme acts on the substrate molecule which in this case is starch molecules and convert it into smaller chains of simple sugars that includes maltose and dextrin which is digested in the small intestine.

Carbonized fossils are made of:
ExtremeBDS [4]
Carbonized remains are thin, approximately two-dimensional films of carbon preserved on a flat surface of rock. They are most often black in color, reflecting the fact that they composed mostly of carbon (as is coal, which is also black in color). Most fossils that exhibit “soft part” preservation are carbonizations.

I would say the answer is the Carbon remains of the original organism.

salantis [7]
Answer:

The acidic environment in the stomach stops the action of the amylase enzyme.

The stomach will secrete digestive juice that contain hydrochloric acid and digestive enzyme such as pepsin to digest protein.

The HCL create an acidic environment that will deform the ionic and hydrogen bond of the amylase which cause the enzyme to be denatured.

Answer:

Option a. met3, Met3p, MET3 is correct answer

"An investigator is studying mutants in methionine synthesis. The _met3_ mutants are unable to ATP sulfurylase, also known as _Met3p_. This protein is the product of the _MET3_gene. "

Explanation:

MET3 encodes ATP sulfurylase, which is a catalyst of first step of the sulfur assimilation pathway. This pathway results in the formation of hydrogen sulfide which is  a precursor in the biosynthesis of  cysteine, homocysteine, and methionine.
