Answer:
B) It breaks down polysaccharides such as starch.
Explanation:
Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides like glucose joined together with glycosidic linkages. While plants can simply make glucose via photosynthesis, animals rely on glucose sourced from their diet. In animals, glucose is stored as glycogen; however, plant storage polysaccharides like starch are regularly broken down through digestion using enzymes.
Enzymes are proteins which catalyze chemical reactions like the breakdown of large polysaccharides. Alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas, is also found in human saliva; it catalyzes the hydrolysis, or breakdown of starch into glucose. Amylase acts on polysaccharides bonds at random points along the chain by splitting the α 1-4 glycosidic bonds. This produces maltose, dextrin and glucose; this glucose is used in ATP synthesis via <em>respiration, ethyl alcohol fermentation and lactic fermentation</em>.
Answer: No because the chromosomes in the homologous pair can have different alleles for each gene, so a switch in a portion of the chromosome would affect the information in that chromatid.

Explanation:
One of the two ways minerals form is by: 1. crystallization of magma (cools inside the crust) or lava (cools & hardens on the surface) 2. crystallization of materials dissolved in water. When these liquids cool to a solid state, they form crystals.
Answer:
a. x = -2
Explanation:
1. multiply both sides by 3 to ger rid of the denominator in the first part of the equation. you should have:
x+4 = 6
2. subract 4 from both sides to get rid to get x alone on the right said of the equation.
x = -2
there u go!! if u need me to explain anything more just lmk!!
