Answer;

-Glycogen

The organic molecule called glycogen is formed of branched chains of sugar units.

Explanation;

-Glycogen is a branched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria.

-In humans, glycogen is made and stored in liver and muscle cells. Muscle cell glycogen is broken down into glucose, and liver glycogen is broken down into glucose as a circulating energy source glucose for use by the body.

-Glycogen is accumulated in response to insulin and broken down into glucose in response to glucagon. It plays a major role in maintaining the blood-glucose levels, which is vital since some organs in the body such as the brain purely depend on glucose for energy.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is ACUCTTCUGGUCCCAACA

Explanation:

Base sequence

                         TGAGAAGACCAGGGTTGT

Nitrogenous bases change from DNA to RNA

                   DNA                      RNA

                      Adenine                 Uracil

                      Thymine                  Adenine

                      Guanine                 Cytosine

                      Cytosine                 Guanine

Then from left to right, the new sequence the RNA is

The correct answer is C. The embryonic period is the period during which the major organs and structures of the organism first develop. The embryonic period lasts from implantation of the egg in the uterus until about 8 weeks from the time of conception. It is the second major stage of prenatal development, prior to embryonic is the germinal stage and lastly is the fetal stage.

Hemoglobin buffers the pH of the cytosol of RBC by combining with ______ions.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

H+

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is the major protein of red blood cells. It has many exposed amino groups and carboxylic groups at its surface. These NH3 and COOH groups serve as weak acids and bases respectively and allow hemoglobin to serve as a buffer to maintain the pH of the RBC cytoplasm.

As the exposed amino groups of hemoglobin protein bind to the H+ ions, the free H+ concentration of the cytoplasm of RBC is reduced leading to a buffer action to maintain the pH.
