The answer is <span>B. contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of proteins.

Saliva is watery substance secreted by salivatory glands. <em>It cleanses the mouth</em> and maintenance oral hygiene. <em>It moistens the food</em>, so the created food bolus could easier pass into the esophagus. It also <em>carries food chemicals to taste receptors</em> so they can be tested. It contains enzymes involved in the food digestions. Some of them are amylase, which begins the breakdown of the starch, and lipase, which begins the breakdown of triglycerides. <u>There are no enzymes in the saliva that break down proteins</u>.</span>

Why are the first plants to appear in primary ecological succession so small
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

They are small because they are growing on bare surfaces, not even soil, so they're just growing on abiotic things like rocks, so the first plants are more like weeds, lichens, small mosses, etc... because these are the only types of plants suited to turn this habitat back into its original climax community through means like nitrogen fixation. Also, because there's probably no to little nutrients there which can cause nutrients to be a limiting factor to their growth and cause them to be stunted. Need me to elaborate more?
