Henry eats rice for lunch, which contains starch. which enzyme catalyzes the reaction that takes place and which product is the result of this reaction?

a. amylase catalyzes the reaction; glucose is the product
b. pepsin catalyzes the reaction; lactase is the product
c. lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction; lactate is the product

The answer is A. The digestion of carbohydrates such as starch begin in the mouth. The enzyme amylase is contained in saliva. The enzyme hydrolyzes starch to sugars by breaking the glycosidic bonds in the starch molecules. The same enzyme is produced by the pancreas breaking the sugars further down to their final elements which is glucose before absorption.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
