The almost pure cellulose obtained from the seed threads of Gossypium (cotton) is tough, fibrous, and completely insoluble in wa

ter. In contrast, glycogen obtained from muscle or liver disperses readily in hot water to make a turbid solution. Despite their markedly different physical properties, both substances are (14)-linked D-glucose polymers of comparable molecular weight. What structural features of these two polysaccharides underlie their different physical properties

Answer:

Cellulose is held by beta 1,4-glycosidic bonds making it linear while Glycogen is held by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it highly branched.

Explanation:

Cellulose and Glycogen are both carbohydrate polysaccharides formed from glucose monomers. According to the question, cellulose is a tough, fibrous, and insoluble (in water) polymer found to play a structural role in plants' cell wall while Glycogen is another polymer obtained from muscle or liver and disperses readily in hot water to make a turbid solution.

Although these two polysaccharides (cellulose and glycogen) are linked by (1, 4)-glycosidic bonds but the glucose monomers in CELLULOSE are linked by a beta 1,4-glycosidic, hence, making it a straight or linear polymer

GLYCOGEN, on the other hand, is linked by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it an highly branched polymer. This structure is responsible for the different physical properties of the two molecules.

The correct answer would be D.

After many generations, only those with genes suitable to live in harsh environments can live. These genes are passed onto their offspring and then we see a rise in antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).

Diferença entre soluções líquidas e líquidos puros
vladimir1956 [14]

Portuguese version:

Não falo português mas:

Uma solução é formada quando algo é adicionado ou dissolvido em um líquido. Você faz uma solução quando adiciona sal ou açúcar a um copo de água. ... Desde que um líquido seja feito de uma única substância, ele permanece puro e é chamado de líquido. Quando algo é adicionado a ele, ele se torna uma solução.

English version: I don't speak Portuguese but:

A solution is formed when something is added or dissolved in a liquid. You make a solution when you add salt or sugar to a glass of water. ... As long as a liquid is made of a single substance, it remains pure and is called a liquid. When something is added to it, it becomes a solution.

Spanish version: No hablo portugues pero:

Se forma una solución cuando algo se agrega o se disuelve en un líquido. Usted hace una solución cuando agrega sal o azúcar a un vaso de agua. ... Mientras un líquido esté hecho de una sola sustancia, permanece puro y se llama líquido. Cuando se le agrega algo, se convierte en una solución.

fReNcH vErSiOn: Je ne parle pas portugais mais:

Une solution se forme lorsque quelque chose est ajouté ou dissous dans un liquide. Vous faites une solution lorsque vous ajoutez du sel ou du sucre à un verre d'eau. ... Tant qu'un liquide est constitué d'une seule substance, il reste pur et s'appelle un liquide. Quand quelque chose y est ajouté, cela devient une solution.
