A Synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. Synapses are found where nerve cells connect with other nerve cells. Synapses are the key to the brain's function.

The term synapse was first introduced in 1897 by Michael Foster in his "Textbook of Physiology" and derived from the Greek synapsis, meaning "conjunction."

Due to the fact that we possess enzymes that break down the alpha linkages in starch, the glucose molecules that make up amylose
dedylja [7]

The answer is: A. True

Complex sugars or polysaccharides are composed of basic units called monosaccharides that are linked via  glycosidic bonds. Glycosidic bond is formed through condensation reactions (water is released) that occur between a hydroxyl (OH) oxygen atom on one sugar and the α-anomeric form of C-1 on the other. There are are two types of glycosidic bonds:

- 1,4 alpha ( the OH is below the glucose ring)

- 1,4 beta glycosidic bonds (the OH is above the glucose ring)

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller glucose molecules, it act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds and it works in mouth where the digestion begins (salivary amylase) . Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose; sucrase, breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose; and lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose work in small intestine and also act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

Aggression is a verbal or physical behavior that is intended to harm. Violence, on the other hand, is an aggressive behavior whose purpose is to abuse or harm another. An action can be aggressive without being violent, such as when one spreads gossip about another person. However, all violent acts are aggressive by definition.
