For the disadvantage and advantage ones, being really cheap is an advantage, and needing high temps to work is a disadvantage. :L
sorry

otherwise another rele good quiz :)

Oh yh and amylase is also known as carbohydrase not carbonhydrase, I ain't tryna be mean or anything cuz it probs sound like i am :P
