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 might happen to the ecosystem if toucans were removed
Naya [18.7K]

When toucans are removed from an ecosystem it leads to loss of hardwood trees, deforestation, and global warming.

Explanation:

Toucans are very attractive brightly colored large birds which are fruigivore (fruit-eaters). They are specially adapted with a large, sharp but lightweight bill which helps the toucans to reach to branches to pick fruits, berries, seeds mostly which are larger and difficult for the smaller birds to eat.  

Their main habitat for the toucan is the rainforests. They are woodland birds and stay mostly on hardwood trees.  

Toucans help the rainforest ecosystem to grow by dispersing the seeds of the fruits they eat all around the forest as they keep flying. This makes the species of trees from which toucans pick their fruits to increase and makes the rainforest healthy.  

When toucans are removed, then dispersal of seeds becomes less and spreading of hardwood trees will be reduced slowly leading to deforestation and drying up of forest lands.

Bigger hardwood trees play a major role in reducing carbon footprint compared to the softwood smaller trees and this increase in carbon will lead to global warming.

Len [333]

Answer:a. A timer to signal how long to brush teeth

Explanation:

Stimulus control of behavior occurs when the performance of a particular behavior is controlled by the presence or absence of a discriminative stimulus. For example, the presence of a stop sign (a discriminative stimulus) at a traffic intersection increases the probability that "braking" behavior will occur.
