Answer:
similarity
Starch, cellulose,dextran and glycogen are all polymers of glucose
differences
monomer/glucose glycosidic bond branching
1.starch α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branch and unbranced
amylose 1-4 unbranched
amylopectin 1-4 and 1-6 branched
2. dextran α glucose 1-6 branched
3. cellulose β glucose 1-4 unbranched, linear
4. glycogen α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branched (shorter
branches than starch)
Enzyme: amlase acts on starch and cellulase acts on cellulose as they are specific for their substrates.
Explanation:
Starch: Consists of both branched amylopectin and unbranched amylose
Enzymes: Enzymes are specific as the gulcose molecule in starch is α and in cellulose is β which differ in their position of hydroxyl groups at anomeric carbon, their structures differ so they form different bonds. Active sites of enzymes can act only on specific bonds a sthey can fit to their specific substrates.
Answer:
chloroplast........................
Answer:
This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.
Explanation:
Answer: 3. C. mitochondrion
Explanation:
Mitochondrion in a cell is defined as the powerhouse of the cell which provide energy to the whole cell.
A mitochondrion is has a membranous layer and bean-shaped organelle that is the “energy transformer” of the cell. They contibute to the biochemical processes of the cell called cellular respiration. They works as a digestive system which takes nutrients, breaks them into several energy rich molecules for the cell.
Hence, the correct answer is 3. C. "mitochondrion".
Answer:
The answer is true.
Explanation:
PKU is an inherited metabolic disease caused by a mutation of the gene for an enzyme responsible for metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine.
