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

fredd [130]

Answer:

Las unidades de Mendel se conocen ahora como GENES

Explanation:

Durante sus experimentos, Mendel demostró que las características de las plantas de guisante (por ejemplo color de la flor, color de la semilla, forma de la semilla, altura de la planta, etcétera) eran heredadas, y denominó "elementos" a las unidades portadoras de dichas características. Es decir que cada elemento o unidad discreta, era el responsable de que la planta exprese una u otra característica. Estableció que estos elementos se redistribuían independientemente uno de otro, generación tras generación. Con el paso del tiempo y el avance de las investigaciones, estas unidades o elementos fueron denominados Genes.
