to protect and recover imperiled species and the ecosystems upon which they depend
Of the three salivary glands (Sublingual, submandibular and parotid glands), the parotid is the largest. They are all paired. The parotids are located on either side of the mandibular ramus. It produces ptyalin, an alpha-amylase, and is responsible for 20% of the total saliva content produced into the mouth.
Catalysis An enzyme may catalyse a reaction by stressing or
destabilizing the bonds of the substrates. This point in the enzymatic reaction
is known as the Transition State. An
enzyme can couple a nonspontaneous reaction to a spontaneous reaction so that
anabolic processes will occur.
All living things contain carbon. Carbon moves through every level of a food chain and food web. When living things die, the remains decompose, cycling the carbon back into the ecosystem.
