<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>

DNA ligase is a DNA-joining enzyme. If two pieces of DNA have matching ends, ligase can link them to form a single, unbroken molecule of DNA.
DNA ligase usesATP as an energy source to catalyzes a reaction in which the phosphate group sticking off the 5’ end of one DNA strand is linked to the hydroxyl group sticking off the 3’ end of the other.
The reaction produces an intact sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA strand.

5. How do enzymes found in your saliva aid in digestion?

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

the answer is C) They increase the rate of the chemical reactions involved in digestion

Explanation:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.
