Polysaccharide digestion and glycogen breakdown involve sequential cleavage from ________ ends of glucose polymers.

Alex787 [66]1 year ago
5 0

Sequential cleavage from the non-reducing terminals of glucose molecules is required for both glycogen degradation and polysaccharides hydrolysis.

Why non-reducing end is selected for digestion?

A polysaccharide's non-reducing end is the one where an anomeric carbon participates in the glycosidic connection. The elimination of carbohydrate remnants one at a time out from the non-reducing terminal occurs during glycogenolysis and polysaccharides hydrolysis.

  • For example, several enzymes are involved in glycogenolysis in the liver and muscle.
  • An example of such an enzyme is glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyzes the successive dissociation of the alpha 1->4 glycosidic bond that connects two glucose molecules at a non-reducing terminal of glycogen. The last glucose residue is eliminated as alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate.

That is why non-reducing end of glucose is chosen for digestion or breakdown of the carbohydrate polymer.

Check all the functions that take place within the eukaryotic cytoplasm.
sesenic [268]

The cytoplasm is a fluid substance that fills every living cell which is enclosed by the cell membrane. This substance is mainly composed of water and proteins.

The functions that take place within the eukaryotic cytoplasm are diverse:

  • Location for most metabolic pathways. Except for the metabolic pahtways in cell nucleus and cytoplasmatic organelles, all metabolic functions (e.g., synthesis of biomolecules, growth, etc) occur in the cytoplasm.  The cytoplasm contain enzymes (i.e., proteins) to carry out different chemical reactions.

  • Location for organelles that house many of the metabolic pathways for the cell. For example, the synthesis of ATP (the energy coin of the cells) is carried out in the mitochondria, which are organelles found in the cytoplasm.

  • Location for the cytoskeleton that gives integrity to the cell. The cytoplasm contains all of the three types of filaments of the cytoskeleton (i.e., microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments) which provides structural support to the cells.

On the other hand, in plant cells, the cell wall is located outside the cell membrane.

Explain how animal cells make energy for cellular processes.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Mitochondria are the energy factories of the cells. The energy currency for the work that animals must do is the energy-rich molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy stored in food. ... This is a very efficient process for using food energy to make ATP.

Drag each label to the correct location on the image. Identify the particles and characteristics on this model of an atom.
Rainbow [258]

Answer and Explanation:

This is a model of an atom. Atoms are made up of three main parts: neutrons, protons, and electrons.

Neutrons are neutrally-charged subatomic particles, protons are positively-charged subatomic particles, and electrons are negatively-charged. Neutrons and protons are always located in the nucleus of the atom, which is basically the central location. Electrons, on the other hand, orbit all around this nucleus.

In the model, the protons and neutrons should be labelled in the center big golden ball, while the electron should be labelled on the small spheres "orbiting" this big center one. The electrons should also be labelled "negatively charged". Finally, the nucleus is positively charged because it's made up of protons (which are positive) and neutrons (which have no charge).
