Biology

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.

<em>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.</em>

Cells build carbohydrate polymers<span> 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</span>

mina [271]

Answer:

To examine the importance of light to a plant's growth.

Explanation:

To give a background to this question, I will define a key term "Photosynthesis". Photosynthesis is a compound word made up of photo (which means "light") and synthesis (which means "to put together").

It is the process by green plants use sunlight to obtain nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

The experiment us meant to examine the effect of deprivation of sunlight on a plant's growth.<u> </u>

Therefore, the essence of keeping one set of seedlings in the light is to compare if there is any difference in growth between the seeding kept in the dark cupboard and that kept in the light.

This enables us to conclude whether or not light is important for the growth of a plant.

Speciation is the formation of new species as result of evolution by natural selection. What effect could separation of populati
vagabundo [1.1K]
<span>Animals pass down their features to their children when they breed.  </span>When you separate a population (or group of animals of the same species), say by building a large wall, they can't interbreed with each other.  This means that if an animal on one side of the border gets an adaptation, it won't pass it on to the other animal.  Soon, each side will evolve different adaptations, and the two populations will become so different that they become two different species.

It is possible that one-half wouldn't be able to survive, and go extinct, but it doesn't happen all the time (A is incorrect).  Similarly, the populations don't ALWAYS evolve into two different species, though they may (B is incorrect).  However, if the environments differ enough, they will acquire different adaptations through evolution.  C is correct!  Keep in mind that D is incorrect: the first part, the populations can't interbreed, is correct, but that doesn't mean they will die off.

Answer: C

How would the introduction of a predator species affect the stability of an ecosystem
ss7ja [257]

The predator species keeps the prey species under control. Without predators, prey animals would over populate.

Hope this helped.
