Cellulose is a carbohydrate which is present in the plant cells. The cellulose is a polymer with glucose as the monomer units. The monomer units of cellulose is attached by the beta linkages. The cellulose provides structural support to the plant cells by forming micro-tubules. The humans cannot eat the diet rich in cellulose because they lack the enzymes that are needed to digest them. Some animals, such as cows and termites have these enzymes but not the humans.

Hence, the answer is 'people cannot digest cellulose'.

People do not consume food that are high in cellulose content because we do not have the appropriate enzymes that will aid in properly digesting this type of food. That being said, the answer to this item is the first choice, "People cannot digest cellulose".

What is one condition that must be met for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The Hardy-Weinberg model states that a population will remain at genetic equilibrium as long as five conditions are met: (1) No change in the DNA sequence, (2) No migration, (3) A very large population size, (4) Random mating, and (5) No natural selection.

Determination of Caloric Content of Three Foods1. Compare the calorimeter that you built to a bomb calorimeter. How are they sim
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The answers to both parts (1 and 2) are given below.

Explanation:

1. The calorimeter is similar to the bomb calorimeter in a way that both measure the changes in heat that occur as result of the chemical reaction taking place inside them. They are different in the sense that a bomb calorimeter provides an isolated system with constant volume and pressure, whereas a regular calorimeter allows pressure to equalize with the environment.

2. Carbohydrates are the molecules that break down and provides energy for cellular functions. Whereas, proteins are not meant for the production of energy but for the production of amino acids to function as structural units for protein synthesis. Simply, the breakdown of protein is for the synthesis of more proteins by providing several units of amino acids rather than the production of energy.

5. In the following picture, label each of the letters<br> with what is occuring
sp2606 [1]

Answer: see explanation

Explanation:

A. substrate

B. Active site

C. Enzyme binds with substrate

D. Active site of enzyme

E. Products leaving active site

Simplified enzymatic reaction. The substrate reversibly binds to the active site of the enzyme, forming the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex. The bound substrate is converted to product by catalytic groups in the active site, forming the enzyme-product complex (EP). The bound products are released, returning the enzyme to its unbound form, ready to catalyze another round of converting substrate to product.

tester [92]

Answer:

  Variations Within Ecosystems

Ecosystem diversity can be described as a term which is used o describe the changes within an ecosystem and the impact these changes have on the environment and humans.

Variations within an ecosystem can cause genetic drifts. Variations will cause those organisms to survive which are better adapted to survive to the changes which occur in an ecosystem. And the organisms which are not better suited become extinct over a period of time. Hence, this will lead to a wide rise in biodiversity.
