Answer:

The ability to bring water into the gills when the mouth is closed would benefit a bottom dwelling shark or ray, because it would allow them to be more discreet when in the process of catching prey and they would be able to stop swimming. Most sharks have to continuously swim or else they would sink, while being able to bring water into the gills when the mouth is closed would highly benefit them and allow them to stop swimming for a moment.

Explanation:

I am not 100% sure this is the correct answer, but I am currently doing a lab on this, so I am using the knowledge I previously had and online resources. I am pretty confident though.

Polysaccharide structure can be varied by differences in ________.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

monomers of MONOSACCHARIDES

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are large molecules formed from chains of POLYMERS linked together by glyosidic bonds. <u>MONOMERS are small sub units that formed polymers, they are therefore the building block of a polysaccharides. The monomers of polysaccharides are called monosaccharid</u>es (1 sugar molecule.) when two of these are joined together they formed disaccharides (two sugars.)

Polysaccharides are fromed by joining together condensation, (loss of water molecules,) of mutiple monosaccharides units and the reversal of this to add water molecules to sepate them to monosaccharies is sugar Hydrolysis.

Example of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen cellulose

Example of monosaccharides are glucose, galactose.

Disaccharides are common table sugar, sucrose, maltose, lactose
