Answer:

The correct answer is "Renin".

Explanation:

The secretion of the enzyme renin by the kidney is one mechanism used by the kidneys for blood pressure regulation. The secretion of renin is the first step leading to angiotensin II production, in what is known as the renin–angiotensin system (RAS). Renin catalyzes the conversion of  angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is subsequently converted to angiotensin II by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

The Baltic Sea has very low dissolved oxygen content. What kind of condition prevails in this sea?
bonufazy [111]

The answer is; Dead Zone

These areas have anoxic condition means they have very little to zero dissolved oxygen hence cannot support marine/aquatic life. This is as a result of eutrophication  caused by algae blooms. This phenomenon is brought about by pollution of these water reservoirs. These algae bloom take up all the oxygen in the water during their mass decomposgion hence leave no dissolved oxygen for the rest of the marine life.

Why is salivary amylase active for only an hour or so, whereas lingual lipase isn't active until reaching the stomach
leva [86]

Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.

The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.

Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.
