Can someone answer this

Biology

Answer:

B) Glucose molecules are joined in long, branched chains to make glycogen that allows for long term energy storage in animals.

Explanation:

Starch:

Starch is a complex polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules bonded via glycosidic linkage. Starch is primarily of two forms:

  1. A linear polymer of glucose molecules bonded together by α 1,4 glycosidic linkage known as amylose.
  2. A highly branched, complex polymer of glucose bonded together by α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic linkages known as amylopectin. The α-1,6 linkage is responsible for branching in amylopectin.

Unlike starch, cellulose is a polymer consisting of linear chains of glucose units. Cellulose is indigestible for humans. It is excreted as dietary fiber.

Glycogen:

Glycogen is the primary form of glucose storage in animals, fungi and bacteria. Glycogen is also a complex, branched polymer of glucose units. Glycogen mainly contains amylopectin i.e a highly branched form of glucose polymer that contains α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic linkages.

Chitin:

Chitin is a long chain polymer of modified form of glucose i.e. N-acetylglucosamine which is a nitrogen containing derivative of glucose. N-acetylglucosamine monomers are linked together through glycosidic bonds.

Which of these is a landform created due to erosion by glaciers? Delta Horn Sandbars Spit
padilas [110]

The answer is option B "horn." The land form horn was formed because when glaciers erode down to form a sharp peak which is called a horn. All of the other options are false because none of those land forms are formed because of the erosion of glaciers only horns are.

Hope this helps.

Place the following events in synaptic transmission at a cholinergic synapse in order:
polet [3.4K]

I believe the correct order is:

D - A nerve signal arrives at an axon terminal;

B - Voltage gated calcium channels open and calcium enters the cell;

C - ACh is released and diffuses across the axon terminal;

E - Ligand gated sodium channels open and sodium enters the cell.

A - A postsynaptic potential is produced;

Explanation:

The dendrites of the presynaptic neurons receive a signal. The signal stimulates the nucleus of the presynaptic neuron to produce an electrical signal that is managed by the axon hillock. the axon hillock again manages and transmits the nerve impulse into the axon towards the axon terminal. The signal is transmitted via saltatory conduction on myelinated axons for faster communication. When the nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal, it causes opening of voltage gated calcium ion channels. This will cause an influx of calcium ions into the presynaptic axon terminal. The influx of calcium ions then stimulates the synaptic vessicles in the presynaptic membrane that contain the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) to move towards the presynaptic membrane. They then fuse with the membrane and open up releasing all their acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft (space between presynaptic membrane and post synaptic membrane). The ACh will bind to ligand ion channels on post synaptic membrane causing opening of sodium channels and there is an influx of sodium inside the post synaptic membrane producing a membrane potential. The voltage gated calcium ion channels in the presynaptic membrane will then close and no more ACh is released. The cells then return to rest. The acetylcholine in the postsynaptic neuron is either broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase into metabolites that are used by the cell or they are removed as waste into the surrounding glial cells called astrocytes that nourish neurons. They (ACh) also can be stored for future use by the post synaptic neuron.
