The correct Answer is:
To determine the enzymes present in saliva, let's analyze the given options step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the enzymes in saliva Saliva contains several enzymes that aid in the digestion process. The most notable enzymes are: - **Amylase**: This enzyme breaks down starch into simpler sugars like maltose and dextrin. - **Lysozyme**: This enzyme has antibacterial properties and helps in breaking down bacterial cell walls. ### Step 2: Evaluate the options provided Now, let's evaluate the options one by one: 1. **Option 1: Patalene, Sucrose, and Amylase** - **Patalene**: This seems to be a misspelling of "Ptyalin," which is another name for salivary amylase. - **Sucrose**: This is not an enzyme; it is a sugar. - **Amylase**: Correctly identified as present in saliva. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect due to the presence of sucrose. 2. **Option 2: Lysozyme, Amylase, and Zymase** - **Lysozyme**: Correctly identified as present in saliva. - **Amylase**: Correctly identified as present in saliva. - **Zymase**: This is not present in saliva; it is an enzyme complex involved in fermentation. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect due to the presence of zymase. 3. **Option 3: Amylase, Sucrase, and Patalene** - **Amylase**: Correctly identified as present in saliva. - **Sucrase**: This enzyme is involved in the digestion of sucrose and is produced in the small intestine, not in saliva. - **Patalene**: Again, this seems to refer to ptyalin (amylase). - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect due to the presence of sucrase. 4. **Option 4: Patalene, Lipase, and Lysozyme** - **Patalene**: Referring to ptyalin (amylase), which is present in saliva. - **Lipase**: This enzyme is involved in fat digestion and is not primarily found in saliva. - **Lysozyme**: Correctly identified as present in saliva. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect due to the presence of lipase. ### Final Conclusion None of the options provided are entirely correct, but the closest option that includes enzymes typically associated with saliva is **Option 4**, considering ptyalin (amylase) and lysozyme are indeed present in saliva.
