Chemical formula of saliva

Answer 1

Calcium phosphate = CaP04

Calcium phosphate = CaP04

This is not quite correct... The structure of teeth is based on a more complicated mineral known as calcium hydroxy apatite whose formula is Ca5(PO4)3(OH).

Answer 2

The chemical formula of saliva is H2O + electrolytes + mucus + enzymes. The primary component of saliva is water (H2O), which makes up about 99% of its composition. The electrolytes in saliva include sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions, which help maintain the pH balance and aid in digestion. The mucus in saliva lubricates food for easier swallowing, while the enzymes such as amylase and lipase break down carbohydrates and fats, respectively.

Answer 3

The chemical composition of saliva can vary, but it generally comprises water (>99%), electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate), enzymes (such as amylase and lipase), mucus, and antimicrobial components (like lysozyme). Its exact chemical formula would be complex and not typically represented by a simple formula like those of pure compounds.

Answer 4

There is no chemical formula for saliva. This is because it is a mixture of many chemicals. Some compounds that exist in saliva in no particular order are bicarbonate, water, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, lactoferrin, salivary amylase, lingual lipase, RNase, DNase, Kallikrein, NaCl, ect. drazx is the original author of this answer

Answer 5

Saliva is a mixture of many compounds. The following compound may be found in saliva, however, this list does not include all compounds found in saliva. -water -lysozyme -lactoferrin -lactoperoxidase -salivary amylase -lingual lipase -RNase -DNase -NaCl -IgA -NaCl -Kallikrein -bicarbonate -mucins -histatins -cystatins -various other protiens drazx is the original author of this answer

Answer 6

The active molecules in mosquito saliva are proteins.

Some studies show that there are about 20 major polypeptides or small proteins in mosquitos, others have identified up to 69 unique proteins.

The exact functions of most of these are not yet fully understood.

Answer 7

The main component of saliva is water. Also contains some enzymes. And contains some useful bacteria.

Answer 8

Saliva contain mostly water (cca. 99 %), mucus, enzymes, glycoproteins, salts, etc.

Answer 9

Saliva is a water solution of mucus, glycoproteins, electrolytes, blood cells, enzymes, etc.

Answer 10

Saliva contain water mucus, glycoproteins, electrolytes, blood cells, enzymes, etc.
