Answer:

by the formation of glycosidic bond between simple sugars/monosaccharides.

Explanation:

A polymer is generally considered a chemical substance built from small similar units of chemicals.

Carbohydrate polymers such as starch and cellulose are formed by polymerization reaction involving simple sugars or monosaccharides.

During polymerization process, energy is used to form a glycosidic linkage between monosaccharide molecules. The linkage occur through a dehydration reaction between two simple sugars leading to the elimination of water.

Cells build carbohydrate polymers by using energy to form glycosidic linkages, the bonds between monosaccharides. A dehydration synthesis reaction forms a bond between carbon atoms in two monosaccharides, sandwiching an oxygen atom between them and releasing a water molecule

Which statement describes a political consequence of sustainable land use?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The sustainable use of land means using the spare land in such an activity which supports the society and benefits the environment.

In such a situation if a land is found spare then a park should be constructed on it.

This will create an recreational activity spot for the society and they will be able to spend their leisure time with fun.

Also there will be less pollution and harm to environment will be lowered by greenery and trees in the park.

The diagram shows the thermohaline circulation, also know as the ocean's conveyor belt.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The statement that is true about red currents in the thermohaline circulation is that water in the red currents contain less salt (option A).

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is a concept used in oceanography, referring to the oceanic circulation that depends on factors such as surface heat and salinity, as well as the density gradient that they determine.

On a map, the different currents that are part of the thermohaline circulation are usually represented with blue and red lines, where:

The blue lines represent deep, cold, dense and higher salinity currents.
The red lines represent surface currents, warm, with less salt content, so they are less dense.

The red currents (see image) represented on the map have less salt content, compared to the currents represented in blue.
