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.

Which of the following is a covalent compound?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Water is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

covalent compounds are individual molecules characterized by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. Two atoms with similar electronegativity will not exchange an electron from their outermost shell; the atoms instead share electrons so that their valence electron shell is filled.

Example:

Examples of compounds that contain only covalent bonds are methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), Water (H2O) and iodine monobromide (IBr).

Properties:

1. At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, covalent compounds may exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas.

2. Covalent compounds do not exhibit any electrical conductivity, either in pure form or when dissolved in water.

3. Covalent compounds have lower melting and boiling points.
