How many monosaccharides can form if this polysaccharide breaks up?

Biology
1 answer:
yaroslaw [1]3 years ago

<span>It depends on the type of polysaccharide. Normally, a polysaccharide is made up of more than 10 monosaccharides. I believe that it's up to a hundred monosaccharide that can form a branched chain of a polysaccharide. I hope that this helps :) sorry if it don't. </span>

ollegr [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:

Which of the following best explains the reactions of these enzymes?

A) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

B) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

C) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

D) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

The answer is A

Explanation:

In nature, MONOMERS are simpler units that come together to form larger units called POLYMERS. According to this question, Amylase converts carbohydrate polymers to monomers while Glycogen synthase converts carbohydrate monomers to polymers.

Monomers of carbohydrate are joined together by adding water molecule to form covalent bonds between the monomer units, hence, forming a POLYMER. This is how Glycogen synthase catalyzes its reaction of forming carbohydrate polymer (glycogen).

On the other hand, Amylase breaks down large polymer molecules into monomers by removing water molecules in a process called HYDROLYSIS. This breaks the covalent bond that holds the monomeric units together.

The continuous, low-level extinction of species that has occurred throughout the history of life on Earth is known as:
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Background extinction

Explanation:

The background extinction refers to the diminishing of the species at a fairly slow and constant rate. This extinction takes place because of the various environmental factors namely the changing climatic conditions, spreading of diseases, and destruction of habitat. It plays an important role in the natural process of evolution. This has been taking place continuously throughout the geological time and the species are undergoing continuous evolution over a specific period of time.

How are vascular and non-vascular plants different, and how do each of them work through osmosis?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vascular plants have tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients, and other substances throughout the plant. Nonvascular plants do not have these tubelike structures and use other ways to move water and substances.

Vascular plants are said to have a true stem, leaves, and roots due to the presence of vascular tissues. Non-vascular plants do not have true roots, stems, or leaves and the tissues present are the least specialized forms of tissue. Some examples of vascular plants include maize, mustard, rose, cycad, ferns, clubmosses, grasses. Some examples of non-vascular plants include moss, algae, liverwort, and hornwort.

How vascular plants work through osmosis

The xylem of vascular plants consists of dead cells placed end to end that form tunnels through which water and minerals move upward from the roots to the rest of the plant. Through the xylem vessels, water enters and leaves cells through osmosis.

How non vascular plants work through osmosis

Because non vascular plants do not have the xylem and phloem ystem, they absorb water right into their cells through their leaves when it rains or when dew falls. Internal cells get their water by passive osmosis. While, they use rhizoids to transport nutrients and minerals.

Esperanza is having a prenatal test to remove a small sample of the placenta for genetic testing. Identify the test that her doc
lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answer is chorionic villus sampling.  

Chorionic villus sampling is a kind of prenatal diagnosis to find the genetic or chromosomal disorders in the fetus. The transcervical method is done by administering a thin plastic tube via the cervix and vagina to reach the placenta. A small sample of chorionic villus tissue is then withdrawn.  

The chorionic villi are the projections of placental tissue, which share the genetic makeup of the baby. The chorionic villus sampling is generally done between the weeks 10 and 13 of pregnancy.
