Monosaccharides are the most basic form of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides can be linked together to form long, compact chains ca

lled polysaccharides, which require less space than the equivalent amount of monosaccharides. Both plants and animals store excess carbohydrates as polysaccharides. Which of the following best describes why the formation of polysaccharides is beneficial to organisms? A. Polysaccharide formation allows organisms to store more energy per carbohydrate bond. B. Polysaccharide formation limits the number of carbohydrate bonds that can be formed. C. Polysaccharide formation limits the amount of energy an organism can store. D. Polysaccharide formation allows organisms to store energy more efficiently.

Polysaccharide formation allows organism to store energy efficiently. The storage form of food in animals is glycogen and in plants it is starch. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides of glucose. Many glucose units are linked together by condensation reaction to form polysaccharide. Compared to having several molecules of glucose in a bulk it is better to store it in the form of condensed bulk i.e polysaccharide. Thus polysaccharides which are formed by condensation reaction i.e by the loss of water molecules are easy to store.

Polysacchrides are: a) stored in the form of condensed bulk

b) they are chemically non-reactive

c) they are osmolytically inactive

The Ras protein functions as a molecular switch that is set to its "on" state by other proteins that cause it to expel its bound
Darya [45]

Answer: Ras activity would be significantly slower in its response to extracellular signals.

Explanation:

• GTPase acts as a catalyst in converting RasGTP (active state) to RasGDP (inactive state)

• A mutant lacking the GTPase activating protein cannot activate GTPase so thee will nit be any functional GTPase

• if GTPase is not present then RasGTP may be expdessed for longer periods of time and there will be a lag until it eventually switches "off)

If a solution is considered to be basic, which of the following is true about the hydroxide ion concentration?
Anna [14]

The correct answer is option C, the concentration of the hydroxide ion is greater than the concentration of the hydronium ion

Reason -

An acidic solution has an ability to contribute hydrogen ion. Here a hydronium ion (H3O+) has an extra H+ ion along with a water molecule. Thus presence of hydronium ion in larger amount than the hydroxide ion would make the solution acidic. Thus, the concentration of hydroxide ion should be less than the hydronium ion to make the solution a basic solution.
