Cells require diffusion in order to get water and nutrients. With a large surface area to a smaller volume means that diffusion would happen faster. While the opposite would happen if the cell had small surface area, and a large volume.

What is the monomer (single unit) that makes up the polysaccharides?
taurus [48]

Answer:

monosaccharides

Explanation:

<em>The monomers of polysaccharides are the monosaccharides, otherwise known as the simple sugars. The monosaccharides are linked together by bonds known as glycosidic bonds. </em>

For example; starch, cellulose, and glycogen are polysaccharides whose monomer units are glucose - a monosaccharide. The glycosidic bonds in starch and glycogen are alpha while those in cellulose are beta glycosidic bonds. The latter is formed when the hydroxyl group on the first carbon of the sugar is above the glucose ring while the former is formed when the hydroxyl group is below the ring.

How does DNA carry genetic information?
topjm [15]

 Sugars link together by phosphates to create the backbone of the DNA or RNA molecule. Genetic information is carried and stored in the sequence of nucleic acid bases along a chain of DNA or RNA. When cells duplicate inside of the human body, DNA is replicated through RNA in order to give the new cell a new set of DNA.
