                          (iii)   Compound X is a substance that has two parts, Part 1 and Part 2.  Part 1 can be digested
                                  ONLY by arginase and Part 2 ONLY by salivary amylase.  Both enzymes are required
                                  for the complete digestion of compound X.

                                  Determine the optimal pH at which BOTH of these enzymes together digest compound
                                  X.
