What roles do polysaccharides play in living things?

Biology
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
8 0
The appropriate answer is D. storing sugar and providing structure. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates. Starch, glycogen and cellulose are polysaccharides in which the constituent molecules are made of several thousand glucose units linked in long chains. Glycogen is vital to nutrition because it is how the body stores excess glucose in muscles and in the liver.
The molecular structure of glycogen is similar to starch except that the polysaccharide chains are longer and more branched than in glycogen.

What type of polymer is made by bonding an alkene to one or more alkanes or alkenes? A. di-polymers B. multi-polymers C. additio
olganol [36]
Hello! 

The type of polymer that is made by bonding an alkene to one or more alkanes or alkenes is called addition polymer

Addition polymers are those whose polymerization reaction doesn't produce low molecular mass compounds but the bonding of molecules one after the other. Such a reaction implies that there is a rupture in the bonding between monomers (the building blocks of the polymer) to allow the formation of a chain. 

Bonding an alkene to one or more alkanes or alkenes is an example of an addition polymerization.

The disease bullous pemphigoid results in the destruction of proteins within the basement membrane that holds the epidermis and
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
This would directly affect the epidermis because blisters will develop within the surface of the skin. Having blisters on the epidermis will decrease the function of the skin to be an effective barrier to disease. This is because blisters are open wounds that are prone to infection. As infection passes through these openings, it will affect the dermis and the other layers of the skin. Bullae is actually an auto-immune skin disease.
