A specialized protein in saliva breaks up starch molecules in food into smaller chains of simple sugars. In this reaction, which molecule is the enzyme, which is the substrate, and which is the product? One of the four answer choices will not be used. a. Saliva
b. Starch molecules
c. Smaller chains of simple sugars
d. specialized protein

option d, b, c

Explanation:

Starch molecules taken into the mouth from food substances are processed to an extent of 30% of its digestion. this is carried out by a specialized protein/ an enzyme that is present in the saliva; called  amylase or ptyalin. this enzyme acts on the substrate molecule which in this case is starch molecules and convert it into smaller chains of simple sugars that includes maltose and dextrin which is digested in the small intestine.

due to the fact that it skipped a generation we can tell it is definitely not a dominant trait, therefore it must be recessive. i think this is right let me know!

explanation:

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
