In what ways are cellulose and starch similar to each other and in what ways are they different? Be specific in your comparison,
Tom [10]
By starch, I'm assuming you mean glycogen, or animal starch.
Similarities:
Both are polysaccharide molecules made from glucose molecules linked together in a long chain.
Both are storehouses of energy.

Differences:
Glycogen is made in animal cells and is the only form of starch animals can digest (unless they have certain microbes in their intestinal tracts to break down cellulose, which all herbivores need).
Cellulose is made in plant cells.

The bonds are a bit different; the molecules are isomers. Glycogen bonds with what is called an alpha 1,4 bond, meaning that the first carbon of one glucose molecule is bonded to the 4th carbon of the next glucose molecule, but in a way that puts the bonds in a shape that falls below the plane of the molecule, and allows branching.

Cellulose bonds with beta 1,4 bonds. The first and fourth carbons of adjoining glucose molecules are still connected, but the shape of the bond falls above the plane of the molecule and does not branch.

Since enzymes are specific to their substrates, the enzymes shaped to fit glycogen bonds do not fit on cellulose bonds, which is why animals cannot digest cellulose on their own. In herbivores, there are microbes in their digestive tracts which can produce enzymes to break these bonds so the glucose can be used. In carnivores and omnivores like humans, there is no enzyme to break down cellulose so it becomes 'roughage' in our diets. It passes through the digestive tract without being broken down.

Is evolution a random process? Why or why not.
Bingel [31]

Answer: No

But it is crazy. If Evolution was real things would not be the same as it is today.

Explanation: All life on Earth evolved from a single-celled organism that lived roughly 3.5 billion years ago, a new study seems to confirm.

Evolution is a theory . Charles Darwin came up with it.

Evolution is defined as the process of growth and development or the theory that organisms have grown and developed from past organisms. An example of evolution is how cell phones have changed over time.

If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same a
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Here is the full question:

(A) If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for 3 weeks,

How much will the container weigh 1 and 2 weeks later after the  mouse has eaten, drunk and exercised (respiration is CO2 emission), and why?

(B) If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same answer as in (A) and why?

Explanation:

(A) The mouse will weigh the same. This is because solids, liquid, and gases cannot escape the closed container. All of the life processes involving reactions conserve the atoms involved. Some of those atoms will appear in the form of gases, some as solids, and others as liquids but all will be retained in the closed container.

(B) In a wire cage, gases can escape. This means that the weight will not be the same after 1 and 2 weeks. The weight would be less than the original weight of the mouse, it's food, and it's water.
