Polysaccharides like Cellulose form insoluble micro-fibrils making it resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • Polysaccharides components in general broken down monosaccharides and they are very little enough to be absorbed by the body.
  • But the polysaccharide like cellulose cannot be absorbed by our body.
  • Cellulose is made up of simple polymers that form insoluble micro-fibrils results in resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.
  • Also, molecules of each micro-fibril are so tightly packed structure and prevent the penetration of enzymes.
  • Thus, cellulose degradation requires a complex enzyme and cellulose.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 5000 meter or 5 kilometers

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = 500 meter/minute

Time = 10 minutes

Distance would be covered = ?

Formula used:

speed = distance/ time

then, Distance = speed*time

Solution:

Putting values in the provided formula:

Distance = speed*time

distance = 500*10 meters

              = 5000 meters or 5 kilometer (1000 meter = 1 kilometer)

A major function of glycoproteins and glycolipids in the cell membrane is to
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

be part of the cell signaling process

Explanation:

Glycoproteins and glycolipids are proteins and lipids with carbohydrate chain attached to it. They are an important component of the cell membrane with many roles:

  • stabilizing membrane structure-because of their ability to bind water molecules via hydrogen bonds
  • cell signaling-they are often membrane receptors for the hormones and neurotrasmitters
  • cell attachment (adhesion)-for the connection between cells
  • cell recognition-they can act as antigens on the cell surface (immune role)

What is responsible for the red tide phenomenon? It is a phenomenon that usually coincides with storm surges; the name comes fro
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Red tide occurs in patches of water where certain species of dinoflagellates flourish.

Explanation:  

Red tides refer to the noticeable microalgae proliferation that can be recognized for being a big spot in the sea of a characteristic coloration. This phenomenon is caused by two microalgae groups: diatoms and dinoflagellates, both part of phytoplankton.

Red tides occur when certain environmental factors -such as temperature, light, nutrients availability, ph, etcetera- favor the overproduction of these organisms. These species produce toxins that turn to be dangerous for other animal species that feed on them.

Because these microorganisms produce pigments, their accumulation on the sea surface can be noticed as reddish, brown, or greenish color spots of variable extension.
