Polymers are large macromolecules made up of smaller molecules called monomers. For example, monomers called monosaccharide’s are joined together to form polymers called polysaccharides.

We call them a monomer, they are chemically bonded smaller molecules that make up the shape of a larger molecule. I hope that this helps!

Answer:

If you are referring to the image below, the answers would be:

Monosaccharides:

  • Galactose
  • Glucose
  • Ribose
  • Deoxyribose
  • Glyceraldehyde
  • Fructose

Disaccharides:

  • Maltose
  • Sucrose
  • Lactose

Storage Polysaccharides:

  • Starch
  • Glycogen

Structural Polysaccharides:

  • Chitin
  • Cellulose
  • Amylopectin
  • Amylose

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are simple sugars, typically having 3 to 7 carbons in its structures. Aldoses and ketoses are forms of monosaccharides. If a monosaccharide has a aldehyde, it is an aldose. If a monosaccharide has a ketone, it is a ketose. You also have other forms, depending on te number of carbons. (e.g. Tioses, hexose and pentose)

Disaccharides are two monosaccharides bonded covalently through a glcosidc bond. They form through a condensation reaction, specifically through dehydration synthesis. Thus, the name "di" saccharides.

Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates that are made up of many monosaccharides. Their functions are mainly storage and make up the structure of tissues.

Storage polysaccharides are polysaccharides that act as food reserves or energy reserves. They are called storage because they are stored away for later use. Starch is a storage polysaccharide that is found in plants and glycogen on the other hand, is found in animals.

Structural polysaccharides help form the structures of cell walls in plants and skeletons in animals. The most common ones are chitin and cellulose.

Why don't the spontaneous deleterious mutations that occur in an individual
Neko [114]

Answer:

Please see below  

Explanation:

The reason behind this is the phenomenon of natural selection. The deleterious mutations do not provide a survival advantage so they are selected against, which results in these type of mutations to not be passed on - rather, they eventually get eliminated from the population.

Scientists are able to reproduce certain plants and animals by cloning them in laboratories. The diagram shows the steps of clon
rewona [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction because there is no fusion of sperm and eggs takes place. the animal which is formed from this process is identical of that organism because it is produced from the tissue of that single animal. in 1996, first mammal is produced from cloning was sheep named dolly at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. In cloning, the egg is taken from female organism and remove the nucleus from the egg then the desired organism cell is taken and fuse with the nucleus with the help of electricity. Then implant this embryo in the body of first organism from where egg is taken and after that the embryo turns into a baby, this process is called cloning.
