Amylase is the starch digesting enzyme. This enzyme is found in both saliva (to break down starch in our mouth) and also in out small intestine after it's released from the pancreas.
Hope this helped.
<h2>The given statement is true</h2>
Explanation:
The recent finding of the fossils which showed that <em>Homo erectus</em> and <em>Homo habilis</em> lived side by side in eastern Africa for perhaps half a million years challenged the conventional way that these two species evolved one after the other(<em>H.habilis</em> 1.44 million years old and <em>H.erectus </em>1.55 million years old)
- The fossils were found in Kenya and took years to prepare the specimens for study and to be sure of the identification of the species, the scientists said
- University of Utah geologists determined the dates of the fossils from volcanic ash deposits
- The most recent <em>Homo habilis</em> that had been known was about the same age as the earliest <em>Homo erectus</em><em>,</em> said Daniel Lieberman, a professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University, “Now we have extended the duration of the habilis species, and there’s no doubt that it overlaps considerably with erectus”
- The fact that the two hominid species lived together in the same lake basin for so long and remained separate species, Meave Leakey said in a statement from Nairobi, “suggests that they had their own ecological niche, thus avoiding direct competition”

<h2>A) option is correct </h2>
Explanation:
- RNA is a linear polymer of ribonucleotides
- Sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose which is present in DNA
- The four nitrogenous bases present in RNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil whereas that in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine
- RNA molecules carry genetic information from DNA to proteins, cannot transmit from one generation to next generation as a genetic material
- Due to steric hindrance by the 2'-OH group of ribose sugar, RNA unable to form double helix
Answer;
-Endocytosis
Explanation;
-Endocytosis includes; phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated: Endocytosis brings substances into the cell, plasma membrane surrounds the substances to be taken in, encloses them in a membrane-bound sac (vesicle) and brings them into the cell
-Phagocytosis: endocytosis of large solid particles (“cell eating”)
-Pinocytosis: endocytosis of extracellular fluid that contains dissolved solutes (“cell drinking”)
-Receptor-mediated: highly selective, ligands bind to specific receptor proteins on the plasma membrane and are then taken into the cell
-Exocytosis: the reverse of endocytosis: substances are removed from the cell; vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and release their contents into the extracellular fluid; important in nerve cells to release neurotransmitter and secretory cells to release cell products (ex. digestive enzymes, protein hormones).
