The hypothalamus, a structure deep inside our brain, controls most of the body's metabolic functions and maintain homeostasis.

What is hypothalamus?

The hypothalamus is a small portion of the brain that consists of a number of small nuclei with various functions. One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to connect the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It is located below the thalamus and is part of the limbic system. It forms the ventral part of the diencephalon. All vertebrate brains contain a hypothalamus. In humans, it has the size of an almond.

The major difference between starch, glycogen, and cellulose and their adjacent glucose subunits is the ________.

sveta [45]

Answer:

Starch is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

Cellulose is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.
