C. "It is an enzyme that initiates the breakdown of carbohydrates.":Salivary amylase begins starch digestion in the oral cavity by cleaving polysaccharides into smaller sugars.
D. "It is an enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach.":Proteolysis in the stomach is primarily by pepsin (a gastric enzyme), not salivary amylase.

A. Protects against heart disease: Estrogen has several effects on the cardiovascular system (improving lipid profile and vascular function) that are thought to reduce cardiovascular risk prior to menopause.
B. Helps regulate the menstrual cycle: Estrogen is a key ovarian hormone that helps regulate the growth of the endometrium and the timing of the menstrual cycle .
