Salivary Glands: The salivary glands produce saliva and excrete amylase. Saliva helps lubricate the mouth and oropharynx. Saliva aids in the easy formation of a bolus, making it easier to swallow. Amylase aids in the break down of carbohydrates. The mouth is where the digestion of carbohydrates begins.

Gallbladder: The function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile. Bile helps emulsify fats and neutralize acids.

Liver: The liver has many functions:
*produce bile
*detoxifies blood
*stores some vitamins and iron
* converts excess glucose to glycogen for storage
*converts ammonia to urea
*destroys old red blood cells, excretes bilirubin
*produces cholesterol
*produces certain proteins for plasma
*regulation of blood levels amino acids
*synthesizes albumin and clotting factors

Pancreas: The pancreas has two functions (exocrine and endocrine). The pancreas produces enzymes to breakdown proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids  (exocrine). The pancreas secretes the hormones insulin to lowers blood sugar and glucagon to raise blood sugar (endocrine).

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The importance of the AUG and UGA bases lies in the fact that the first one is a start codon and the second one is a stop codon, respectively (option a).

Explanation:

Codons or triplets are sequences of three nitrogenous bases, in the mRNA, that determine the synthesis of a specific amino acid.

  • <em>AUG </em><em>is called the </em><em>initiation or start codon</em><em>, and is usually at the beginning of a peptide synthesis, in addition to encoding the amino acid methionine. </em>
  • <em>UGA</em><em> is a</em><em> termination or stop codon</em><em> found at the end of a petid chain when it is complete.  UAA and UAG codons are also STOP or termination codons and, together with UGA, do not code for amino acids.</em>

The biological importance of start and stop codons is to initiate the synthesis of a protein and to stop the addition of amino acids when their size is adequate.
