The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the enzymes present in saliva, we will analyze each option provided and identify the correct enzymes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Saliva Composition**: - Saliva contains various enzymes that aid in digestion, particularly in the breakdown of carbohydrates. 2. **Analyzing the First Option (Stylene, Sucrose, Amylase)**: - **Amylase**: This enzyme is indeed present in saliva and is responsible for breaking down starch into dextrin and maltose. - **Stylene**: This term seems to be a misspelling or confusion with "ptyalin," which is another name for salivary amylase. - **Sucrose**: This is a sugar, not an enzyme. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing the Second Option (Lysozyme, Amylase, Zymase)**: - **Lysozyme**: This enzyme is present in saliva and helps in breaking down bacterial cell walls. - **Amylase**: Present in saliva, as discussed earlier. - **Zymase**: This enzyme is involved in fermentation and is not found in saliva. Thus, this option is also incorrect. 4. **Analyzing the Third Option (Amylase, Sucrase, Ptyalin)**: - **Amylase**: Present in saliva. - **Sucrase**: This enzyme is involved in the hydrolysis of sucrose and is primarily found in the small intestine, not in saliva. - **Ptyalin**: Another name for salivary amylase, which is present in saliva. - Since sucrase is not present in saliva, this option is incorrect. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Option (Ptyalin, Lipase, Lysozyme)**: - **Ptyalin**: Present in saliva (another name for amylase). - **Lipase**: This enzyme is involved in the breakdown of fats and is also present in saliva. - **Lysozyme**: Present in saliva, as previously mentioned. - All three enzymes (ptyalin, lipase, and lysozyme) are present in saliva, making this the correct option. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **Ptyalin, Lipase, and Lysozyme** as all three enzymes are present in saliva. ---
