(I) Glucose; is C
(II) Starch; A
(III) Sucrose B

A) Polysaccharides
B) Disaccharides
C) Monosaccharides

Monosaccharide, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are the three major categories of molecules in Carbohydrates. 

Monosaccharides, known as simple sugar, is the simplest form of carbohydrates. Its basic molecular formula is CH2O. Monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Its primary function is to be the source of energy of living organisms. It is also the primary requirement for the formation of disaccharides and polysaccharides.

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are bonded together through a covalent bond. Common Dissaccharides are sucrose (glucose+fructose) or table sugar, maltose (glucose+glucose), and lactose (glucose+galactose). Its primary function is to provide nutrition for monosaccharides. Sugar in food is mostly dissaccharides.

Polysaccharides are formed when another monosaccharides is bonded to the disaccharides. This bond is called glycosidic bond. Two major polysaccharides are starch and glycogen. Starch is made by plants while glycogen is made by animals. Polysaccharides' major function is to immediately release energy from its storage. When glucose is consumed, some of them are stored and will only be released when the body needs it to satisfy the body's immediate need of energy.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Temperate grasslands have few trees.

Explanation:

Althogh options are not given for this question, here is what I can speculate based on provided limited information.

Temperate grasslands have few trees and large shrubs (mostly absent). Here, grasses are the main vegetation. A major reason behind this is the low average annual precipitation which doesn't allow bigger plants to survive.

For the second part I can say that temperate grasslands have primary vegetation (grasses) whereas other biomes have higher plants as well.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes

Eduardwww [97]

Answer and Explanation:

The gene that expresses the size of the wing is X-linked. The dominant allele expresses long wings, XM, while the recessive allele expresses miniature wings, Xm.

The gene that expresses the color of the eyes is autosomal. The dominant allele expresses red color, S, and the recessive allele expresses sepia color, s.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes (XmXm ss) is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes (XMY SS).

The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.

F1) 1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

100% of the females (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are long-winged and red-eyed

100% of the males (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are miniature.winged and red-eyed.

F2) 8/16=4/8=1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

Females (8/16):

3/8 of the females are long-winged and red-eyed, XMX- S-

1/8 of the females are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMX- ss

3/8 of the females are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmXm S-

1/8 of the females are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmXm ss

Males (8/16):

3/8 of the males are long-winged and red-eyed, XMY S-

1/8 of the males are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMY ss

3/8 of the males are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmY S-

1/8 of the males are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmY ss

Note: The symbol "-" means that in its place might be a recessive allele or a dominant allele. For example, S- means that it might be SS or Ss.
