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.

Herpes simplex, type 2 is typically the strain associated with genital herpes. A symptomatic patient with herpes may describe vulvar lesions causing pain with sitting. When lesions are visible, herpes is characterized by multiple, painful vesicles and/or ulcerated lesions. Herpes lesions are typically much smaller than the described single mass.

Lichen sclerosis is more common in post-menopausal women, and physical exam reveals thin, white-appearing tissue. Masses are not associated with lichen sclerosis.</span>

Describe the path blood takes through the circulatory
ratelena [41]
Ooh this will be good

So blood let’s say starts in the left atrium where it goes down through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle of the blood is pushed through the aorta and from there through the various branches of the body eventually allowing oxygen rich blood to flow all across the body. Once this blood is picked up by veins as deoxygenated blood it goes back to the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava. From there the deoxygenated blood is sent into the right atrium, through the tricuspid vale into the right ventricle, through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery and into the lungs for re-oxygenation. The re-oxygenated blood (oxygen rich blood) now goes through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium and the cycle beings again.


Remember this, Left side of heart is for oxygenated blood, Right side of heart is for deoxygenated blood.

Artery takes oxygen rich blood away from heart itself
Vein takes oxygen poor blood back into the heart

Exceptions, Pulmonary Artery takes oxygen poor blood away from heart and into lungs

Pulmonary vein takes oxygen rich blood into the left atrium to be pushed to the rest of e body.
