The structure of cellulose consists of long polymer chains of glucose units connected by a beta acetal linkage.

<h3>Explain how the structure of a cellulose molecule relates to the molecule's function?</h3>

Cellulose molecules are those molecules which are arranged to parallel to each other (flipped 180 degrees) with hydrogen bonds joining them. It forms strong cable-like structures for support. This is important as it keeps the plant straight and upright. A polysaccharide consisting of beta-glucose monomers joined by beta-1,4 glycosidic linkages. Each glucose molecule is flipped in relation to the ones beside it. There are hydrogen bonds between parallel strands.

So we can conclude that: The structure of cellulose consists of long polymer chains of glucose units connected by a beta acetal linkage.

Answer:

Natural selection leads to evolution due to the way reproduction works. In the example of European moths during the industrial revolution, we can see this clearly. When the industrial revolution was going, there was more pollution, hence darkening the skies and leaving ash. Moths, which before were white with occasional black spots dominated the area until pollution effected their environment. Whiter moths were eaten by bird who could easily see them against the black trees and skies. These moths could no longer reproduce, they were dead. Moths with more black could survive longer to reproduce because they were harder to see. As time went along, the moths turned mostly black, showing an example of evolution.

Ans: maintain homeostasis

Homeostasis is any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. It is the stable state of an organism and of its internal environment. Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them. The stable condition is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism, and is dependent on many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits.
