Pericardial fluid

Pericardial fluid is a serous substance produced by the serous layer of the pericardium into the pericardial cavity. The pericardial fluid reduces friction by lubricating the epicardial surface and allows the two membranes to glide over each other with every heart beat.

Explanation:

ATP stands for Adenosine Tri Phosphate, and that third phosphate is bonded to the other two with a very high energy bond, so a lot of energy is released when that bond is broken. When the third phosphate is removed from ATP, you get ADP, which stands for Adenosine Di Phosphate.

Amylase catalyzes a reaction with starch to directly create _______.
mario62 [17]

Maltose is produced instantly when amylase reacts with starch.

Starch is a polysaccharide molecule made of glucose units. The chemical formula of the starch is written as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ. The starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The glucose units in this starch are linked with the help of two kinds of bonds α 1,4 glycosidic linkages and α 1,6 glycosidic linkages.

This starch molecule is first hydrolyzed into shorter polysaccharides, dextrins, and maltose with a help of an enzyme called amylase. The maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose units with the help of the maltase enzyme.

Therefore, the blank can be filled with maltose.
