Complex carbohydrates are to monosaccharides as polymers are to
2 answers:
Answer: monomers
Explanation:
Monosaccharides are defined as the simplest form of carbohydrates. It consists of carbon atom, hydrogen atom and oxygen atom.Basic formula of a monosaccharide is , where n can be equal to or greater than 3.
Combination of more than two units of a monosaccharide will lead to the formation of a polysaccharide or complex carbohydrates.
Monomers are the the small units which combine together either as such or with removal of small molecules to form bigger molecules called as polymers.
Combination of monomers lead to the formation of a polymer.

Answer:
In the portion of the cell membrane shown in the diagram, the arrow indicates the process of active transport.
Explanation:
Active transport is one of the mechanisms of transmembrane transport, which involves the use of energy. The diagram (see image) shows the hydrogen (H⁺) output from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space, through an H⁺ pump —consuming ATP— which represents an active transport process.
The hydrophobic nature of the cell membrane prevents the free passage of hydrosoluble elements or ions, as H⁺, so they require the use of active transport to pass through it.
The other options presented are not correct, because
- <u><em>Respiration</em></u><em> is a process that occurs in the mitochondria.</em>
- <u><em>Diffusion</em></u><em> is a passive transport process that does not require energy.</em>
- <u><em>Cellular </em></u><em>recognition depends on membrane proteins that act as specific receptors.</em>
