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.

arsen [322]

Answer:

In biology, a molecular clock can be described as a method to determine the time for the divergence of species which occurred by the process of evolution.

Explanation:

The mutation rates of different molecules are used in this method. The mutation rates for DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are usually considered. The molecular clock can be used to compare and estimate the splitting of a lineage. For example, by this method, one can interpret when the chimpanzees and humans diverged from each other.

Hope this helped!
