While testing for biological macromolecules in an unknown, you find that it reacts strongly with iodine and the solution immedia

tely turns a very dark black. The macromolecule at hand must be:_________.
Biology
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
6 0

The macromolecule must be starch.

Explanation:

Starch is a polymer of Glucose joined by glycosydic bond.

Starch is the main energy storage substance in green plants.

Starches react with iodine and give a bluish black or black color and thus iodine test is considered as a confirmatory test for starches.

In this experiment ,the solution turns very dark black on addition of iodine so we can be sure that the solution contained starch.

Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. what type of pathogen uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. virus uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup.

Explanation:

  • A virus is a miniscule pocket of protein that contains genetic material.
  • Viruses pose a considerable challenge to the body’s immune system because they hide inside cells.
  • This makes it difficult for antibodies to reach them. Some special immune system cells, called T-lymphocytes, can recognise and kill cells containing viruses, since the surface of infected cells is changed when the virus begins to multiply.
  • Many viruses, when released from infected cells, will be effectively knocked out by antibodies that have been produced in response to infection or previous immunisation.
  • Antibiotics are useless against viral infections.  So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Hence virus are the pathogen that use the cell's metabolism. And replicate itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup. viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The preferable option will be - D.

D. CNS and PNS

Explanation:

Multiple Sclerosis is a demyelinating disease affecting axons in the <u>CNS </u>nervous system, in contrast to Guillain Barre Syndrome, which strips the myelin sheath from axons in the <u>PNS</u> nervous system.

  • Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which our own immune system attacks our own nerve tissues and damages the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
  • Guillain-Barre syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which our peripheral nervous system (PNS) gets affected.
