Biology
2 answers:
katovenus [111]3 years ago

Answer:

Polysaccharides, one of the carbohydrate classes, act as structural and supporting elements in plant and bacterial cell walls and also in connective tissue and animal cell lining. They also act as the reserve of energy producing monosaccharides. Reserve homopolysaccharides in plant cells are starch and in animal cells glycogen.

The main functions of structural polysaccharides in animals are the stabilization and support of cellular and fibrous tissue components, conferring resistance while helping to maintain the water and ionic balance.

I need an hypothisis on How does temperature change affect surface tension?
Dafna1 [17]

Hypothesis: I believe an increase in temperature would lead to a decrease in surface tension.

Here's why: As the temperature increases, the molecular interaction between the liquids molecules becomes weaker because the hydrogen bond is the main factor for association between two molecules. It is a very weak bond to begin with, so when the temperature increases, it just further weakens it.
