DNA acts as a sort of set of instructions for building an organism.
In that way, different types of organisms--plants, animals, bacteria, etc.--can all be differentiated through their DNA because it is directly linked to how they function.
Answer:
similarity
Starch, cellulose,dextran and glycogen are all polymers of glucose
differences
monomer/glucose glycosidic bond branching
1.starch α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branch and unbranced
amylose 1-4 unbranched
amylopectin 1-4 and 1-6 branched
2. dextran α glucose 1-6 branched
3. cellulose β glucose 1-4 unbranched, linear
4. glycogen α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branched (shorter
branches than starch)
Enzyme: amlase acts on starch and cellulase acts on cellulose as they are specific for their substrates.
Explanation:
Starch: Consists of both branched amylopectin and unbranched amylose
Enzymes: Enzymes are specific as the gulcose molecule in starch is α and in cellulose is β which differ in their position of hydroxyl groups at anomeric carbon, their structures differ so they form different bonds. Active sites of enzymes can act only on specific bonds a sthey can fit to their specific substrates.
Answer:
Genes & DNA
Explanation:
Heritable traits are known to be passed from one generation to the next via DNA, a molecule that encodes genetic information.Organisms inherit genetic material from their parents in the form of homologous chromosomes, containing a unique combination of DNA sequences that code for genes.
