| What is the name of the salivary enzyme | Ptyalin |
| glucose, fat, and proteins are used to generate energy via the process of | cellular respiration |
| Cellular respiration results in the production of | ATP |

| What is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands causing an increased rate of sodium and water resorption back into the blood from the tubules | aldosterone |
