Saliva, produced by glands in the mouth, plays an important role in the digestion of food. Saliva contains a chemical, called am

ylase, that breaks down starch in the food we eat. A scientist conducts an experiment to investigate at which temperatures amylase works the best. He hypothesizes that the reaction will occur fastest if the amylase reaction is conducted near the normal human body temperature of 37ºC (degrees Celsius). In order to test his hypothesis, the scientist measures the reaction rate, which is how fast the amylase breaks down the starch at six different temperatures. The reaction rate is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no reaction and 10 meaning the fastest reaction. The results are recorded in the data table.

Answer:

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.

How do the particles in s waves move
Darya [45]
In a surface wave, particles of the medium move up and down as well as back and forth in an overall circular motion. The particles don't actually move closer to shore as the waves pass through. In shallow water close to shore, waves start to drag on the bottom of the water.

Difference btw cations and anions ?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The difference between a cation and an anion is the net electrical charge of the ion. Ions are atoms or molecules which have gained or lost one or more valencee electron giving the ion a net positive or negative charge. Cations are ions with a net positive charge.

How would a bohr model of a neon atom differ from the model of nitrogen?
natita [175]

Explanation:

The Bohr hypothesis shows that an atom has an circular orbit of electrons outside the nucleus in a revolving orbit. In Bohr model for Nitrogen there are two orbits s and p. The s has two electron and p has five. Whereas in Bohr neon model there are also orbital s, and p.. The s orbital has 2 electron and the p orbital has 8 electron in it.
