Cellulose is another long polymer of glucose. Plant cells make their cell walls out of cellulose. In fact, 100 billion tons of cellulose is made every year on earth. Cellulose is indigestible in most animals, including us. Ever eat a cardboard box? You get the picture. We simply lack cellulase, the enzyme that can break it down. Some bacteria, some single-celled protists, and fungi have the enzyme. Animals that feed on cellulose harbor these microbes that help them digest it. Even though, we cannot break down this molecule, we do need cellulose in our diet. We call it “fiber”. Cellulose stimulates the colon to produce regular bowel movements and helps make the stools large and soft. A diet rich in fiber can prevent a painful intestinal disorder called diverticulosis. Hard impacted stools can sometimes cause the walls of the colon to form blind outpockets called diverticula which can periodically inflame. So what makes cellulose different from starch? Isn’t it made of glucose? Well it is but the glucose monomers are organized in an interesting fashion. The orientation of the glucose molecules alternates. So if the first one is right side up, the next one is upside down and then the next is right side up and the next one is upside down. Apparently this is a tricky arrangement for an enzyme to break.
Its called osmosis and it only happens with water. now I'm just adding words to be able to post this. its moving down the concentration gradient.
Answer:
12:4:3
Explanation:
Let the lack of color pigmentation which is recessive be aa where AA and Aa allow for color (BB, Bb - black, baby - white).
The F1 parents are BbAa x BbAa
This cross will produce 12/16 blacks, 4/16 albinos and 3/16 white.
Oou do the one where you see which plants grows best in different lighting
Yes, a plant would as long as a living creature is in the area to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. It is not totally necessary for other plants to be in the immediate vicinity but is necessary for all living things to live. As mentioned before carbon dioxide and oxygen must be exchanged. (The more the merrier(do not add this)).<span />
