How a polymer molecule is synthesised by glucose?

Biology
1 answer:
Kay [80]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As a new covalent connection develops between the two glucose molecules, one loses a <em>H group,</em> the other loses an<em> OH group</em>, and a <u>water molecule is freed</u>.

<h2>Why does glucose form a polymer despite being a stable molecule?</h2>

The formation of glucose polymers (glycogen, starch, cellulose) requires the input of energy from uridine triphosphate (UTP). Any tiny molecules must be converted into bigger molecules, which is compatible with the second rule of thermodynamics. Building proteins from amino acids, nucleic acids from nucleotides, fatty acids and cholesterol from acetyl groups, and so on are examples. Energy is released when bigger molecules are broken down into smaller ones, which is compatible with the second rule of thermodynamics. Thus, glucose may be converted to CO2 and H2O, resulting in the production of ATP. While glucose is a tiny molecule and hence relatively "stable," it can exist at a potential energy level and may be used to build up (needs energy) or broken down (<em>produces</em> energy). All of these biochemical processes require the use of enzymes; otherwise, the activation energy of most reactions would require extremely long periods of time for random energy inputs to push the reactions in either direction, despite the fact that energy considerations favor spontaneous breakdown over synthesis.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is the most common type of natural selection and occurs when some individuals with characteristics favorable to the conditions of the environment in which they live, have survival advantages over individuals who do not have this advantage, who end up dying.

Imagine, for example, a graph showing the directional selection in the same species of moths. Moths of the same species have white and brown collations, in summer, brown moths can camouflage themselves on tree trunks, while white moths cannot and are easily captured by their predators, which means that the amount of white moths decrease.  In this graph, the population of white moths would be at a minimum, at the same time that the population of brown moths would be at maximum.

However, with the arrival of the reverse, snow begins to cover the trees, allowing white moths to camouflage themselves more easily. The brown moths, then, are very exposed to predators, causing their population to reach the minimum while the population of white moths reaches the maximum.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Latitude or distance from the equator – Temperatures drop the further an area is from the equator due to the curvature of the earth. In areas closer to the poles, sunlight has a larger area of atmosphere to pass through and the sun is at a lower angle in the sky.

2. Altitude or height (also sometimes known as depth) is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure). Although the term altitude is commonly used to mean the height above sea level of a location, in geography the term elevation is often preferred for this usage.

3. Large bodies of water, such as oceans, seas and large lakes, can affect the climate of an area. Water heats and cools more slowly than landmasses. Therefore, the coastal regions will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thus creating a more moderate climate with a narrower temperature range.

4. Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms. Currents are cohesive streams of seawater that circulate through the ocean
