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

Biology
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]2 years 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.

How many recessive alleles I need for an expression of a recessive phenotype
Arisa [49]
You need two recessive alleles (xx). If even one dominant allele is present, the dominant trait will show (Xx or XX will both result in the dominant trait showing). That’s why they’re called dominant traits, because they overpower the recessive traits. In order for a recessive trait to show you must have two recessive alleles.

What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? Click through all four pages of the article
umka21 [38]
1. Greenhouse gases are compounds that are able to trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping the Earth's surface warmer than it would be if they were not present. The gases are the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. Increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere enhances the greenhouse effect which is creating global warming and consequently the climate change. These gases are mainly carbon dioxide; metahne, nitrous oxide, and flourinated gases. 
 
2. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere from animals and plants through the process of respiration and the burning of fossil fuels from industries. .
Animals and plants get rid of carbon dioxide gas through respiration. Carbon may also move from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. Burning of fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks makes carbon to enter the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
