Which of the following molecules does NOT contain a B-1,4 glycosidic linkage?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Chitin, Cellulose and Peptidoglycan (B, C and D)

Explanation:

Both chitin and cellulose are composed mainly of glucides, bound by glycosidic bonds of the Beta 1-4 type. This is largely why they cannot be digested by most non-herbivorous animals.

As for peptidoglycans, it is a net. It is a molecular framework present in bacteria that has β1-4 and α1-4 bonds in different proportions.

Which of the following organelles is found only in animal cells and NOT in most plant cells?
Leto [7]

Answer:

C. Lysosome

Explanation:

Lysosmes are not commonly found in plants. They are mostly found in animal-like eukaryotes. Lysosomes have digestive enzymes that breakdown molecules like proteins, carbohydrates and the like. They also breakdown worn out organelles. When broken down, they exit the lysosomes in vesicles so that the cell can expel it. This is why lysosomes are called the garbbage disposal of the cell.
