Polysaccharides are broken down into single sugars called monosaccharides

Polysaccharides are broken down into disaccharides before being further broken down into monosaccharides by living organisms.

One such example is starch, a polysaccharide, which is broken down into maltose, a disaccharide, which is further broken down into glucose, a monosaccharide.

Oxygen is formed from carbon dioxide in _____(1)_____, while carbon dioxide is formed from oxygen in _____(2)_____.

g100num [7]

Answer:

Oxygen is formed from carbon dioxide in photosynthesis, while carbon dioxide is formed from oxygen in respiration.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be described as the process by which plants make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. By this method, plants are bale to make their own food. Cellular respiration can be described as a process by which plants convert oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide along with the release of ATP. The process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite of one another and are equally essential.

Movement of the chromosomes during anaphase would be most affected by a drug that prevents which of the following events in mito

xxMikexx [17]

The correct answer is: C) shortening of microtubules

Chromosome movement is possible thanks to changes in microtubule length. Several types of microtubules are involved. First, during the anaphase kinetochore microtubules shorten and consequently the chromosomes move toward the spindle poles. Then the astral microtubules that are anchored to the cell membrane pull the poles further apart. At the end of anaphase, the interpolar microtubules slide past each other and that additionaly separate the chromosomes.

Define nuecleotides in your own words

ale4655 [162]

Nucleotides are monomers composed of sugar and phosphate groups and a nitrogenated base. Several nucleotides compose DNA and RNA.

<h3>What are nucleotids?</h3>

Nucleotides are monomers composed of a sugar molecule, joined with a phosphate group and a nitrogenated base.

Monomers are composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms, which establish covalent bonds.

Several monomers comprise a polymer. In this way, several nucleotides joined by their extremes compose the nucleic acids.

Nitrogenated bases are molecules carrying nitrogen and exhibiting the chemical properties of a base. These are purines and pyrimidines.

DNA ⇒ Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine.

RNA ⇒ Adenine, Guanine, Uracyl, and Cytosine

Adenine pairs with thymine or uracil, while guanine pairs with cytosine.

Sugar group: Sugar is always a pentose.

DNA sugar group contains deoxyribose, with hydroxyl modifications.

RNA sugar group contains ribose with no hydroxyl modifications.

Nucleotides have a certain order or sequence in nucleic acids, which is significant since these sequences carry biological information necessary to carry out cellular functions.
