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.

To which of the third period element does this belong
Mrac [35]

Explanation:

A period 3 element is one of the chemical elements in the third row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements. The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when the periodic table skips a row and a chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall into the same vertical columns. The third period contains eight elements: sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and argon. The first two, sodium and magnesium, are members of the s-block of the periodic table, while the others are members of the p-block. All of the period 3 elements occur in nature and have at least one stable isotope.[1]
