The enzyme the organism will miss most is ALPHA AMYLASE.
This is because, alpha amylase is the enzyme that is responsible for hydrolyzing alpha bond of starch in order to break it down to maltose. Oligo 1,6 glucosidase on the other hand is only able to hydrolyses alpha 1,6 glucosidic bond, which is just a step in the conversion of a polysacharride to smaller sugars.

Answer:

The correct answer would be alpha amylase.

Alpha enzyme is an enzyme that catalyzes the break down of alpha linkage present in polysaccharides such as starch, glycogen et cetera.

The help in breaking down complex polysaccharides into simpler units which can be easily absorbed by the body.

For example, alpha amylase is present in the form of salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase in humans. They breakdown the starch into smaller units such as maltose and dextrin.

In contrast, oligo-1,6-glucosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of alpha 1-6 linkage in some oligsaccharides.

Thus, the organism would miss alpha amylase more as compared to  oligo-1,6-glucosidase.

One function of a plant stem?
Nadya [2.5K]
One function of a plant stem is to transport water and nutrients from the roots to the other parts of the plant such as the leaves. 
Another important function of the plant stem, because of its structurally rigid design, is to support the rest of the plant's body.
Plant stems also serve in elevating the leaves of the plant so that they can have better access to sunlight.
