Is this a question about the topic of biology
Answer: A branched polymer has greater terminal glucose residues in comparison to a unbranched polymer of the same molecular weight resulting in a higher number of terminal glucose residues required to be mobilized when energy is demanded. Enzyme and polymer evolve together to meet the dire need for rapid mobilization.
Explanation:
In comparison to an unbranched polymer, a branched polymer has a more compact and symmetrical molecular conformation with a greater terminal glucose residue. It can be broken down easily when energy is needed. For instance, the branched form of starch, amylopetin, in the small intestine starch is hydrolyzed to form glucose which is converted to biochemical energy and stored for later use.
RICE is the staple of South Korean diet while CORN is a staple of the US diet.
These preferences for food in these two countries are influenced by historical and social factors.
Most of the food in South Korea are usually prepared from rice while in the US most of the staple food are prepared from corn.
