Using their large paws and sharp claws, carnivores are able to capture their prey. Their “short and pointed” incisors and “long, sharp, and curved” canines…

hypothesis because the pH of the enzyme amylase is 7. It has correlation because human beings have pH of 7 as well. The pH of 7 is known as neutral. This means that the concentration of H+(hydrogen) ions and OH- (hydroxide) ions is 10⁻⁷. For example, saliva is an enzyme amylase in the human body. It needs to have a pH of 7 will not denature because it is neutral. Therefore, the amylase will be effective. Also, it has adapted to the pH, so it can breakdown the food that human beings inherit to…

that is spread through biological vector transmission. Female mosquitoes become infected through biting an infected person. Also, infected female mosquitos carry the parasite within their saliva and this is transferred into the wound the mosquito makes on the body when they feed. Additionally, the mosquito’s saliva also contains chemicals that prevent the blood from clotting and a minor pain relief (Malaria, 2017). Furthermore, malaria can also be spread through vehicle transmission such as…
