Poly means many. Mono means one. So the answer is
C

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are made up of a long chain of sugar molecules called monosaccharides that are joined together by glycosidic bonds. They are classified as structural and storage polysaccharides.  

Polysaccharides are more difficult to digest than monosaccharides because they are very large and require to be broken in smaller forms of monosaccharides so that it can easily be absorbed by the body.

Therefore polysaccharides like glycogen and starch are broken down in small intestine by pancreatic amylase into monosaccharides like maltose and dextrins and then absorbed in the body through villi present in small intestine.

During photosynthesis, cells capture the energy of sunlight using (thylakoid / stroma / NADPH / chlorophyll), which is a type of
Alla [95]

Answer:

Chlorophyll

Pigment

NADP+

Carrier

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process where green plants synthesize their food in form of sugars using sunlight energy. Photosynthetic process occurs in two stages namely: Light dependent stage and Light independent stage.

In the light dependent stage, which occurs in the thylakoid lumen, cells capture the energy of sunlight using CHLOROPHYLL, a type of PIGMENT found in the chloroplast. However, photosynthesis also relies on a compound called NADP+, which serves as an ELECTRON CARRIER that accepts electrons to become NADPH and transfers its stored high-energy electrons.

(03.05 hc) the base pairs in a dna strand are held together with hydrogen bonds. if the two nitrogenous bases in each pair were
asambeis [7]

The cell would have to take in and use more energy in order to break the covalent bonds.

The correct option is B

Hydrogen bonds :

are the chemical mechanism that governs the complementarity of the bases of DNA. This correspondence is unique thanks to the geometry of the hydrogen donor atoms and the acceptors that form the bases.

The (hydrophobic) bases are stacked inside the double helix of DNA; their plane is perpendicular to the axis of the double helix. The outside (phosphate and sugar) is hydrophilic.

The hydrogen bonds between the bases of one strand and the bases of the other strand keep the 2 strands united.

One purine on one strand necessarily binds to a pyrimidine on the other strand. As a corollary, the number of purine residues is equal to the number of pyrimidine residues.

* A binds to T (by 2 hydrogen bonds).

* G binds to C (via 3 hydrogen bonds: more stable bond: 5.5 kcal vs 3.5 kcal).

What part of the DNA strand do hydrogen bonds hold together?

hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.

In an experiment what should be the relationship between the control group and experimental group?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Ideally, the experimental and control groups are identical. As much as possible, the two groups should overlap in every characteristic.

Explanation:

At the beginning of your study, you need your two groups to be as statistically similar as is humanly possible. That way, when you control for other variables, you can reasonably attribute any statistically significant differences at the end of the study to your intervention.
