Starch molecules are too large to diffuse into cells. Give me brainliest please!

Starch can't be used by the organism the way it is, because cells aren't able to do anything with it.

If you break it into glucose though, it becomes usable.


Hope it helped,

What can be inferred about a petrified log? the wood needed long ages before it could petrify the tree laid on the surface for l
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

the petrified log looks like the original tree.

Explanation:

A tree to be petrified first needs to be buried. An element laying on the surface can not be petrified because it is exposed to many different factors (such as<em> organisms, microorganisms, climatic conditions</em>, etc.), that affect the petrification process. So, in the case of a fallen tree, first, it needs to be covered by many sedimentary layers. Once it is underground, it also needs the presence of underground water and minerals. Water replaces the original organic material with minerals (silica, calcite, and pyrite). This replacement process results in the conversion of the woody material into a fossil of the original material. Very often, the tree details are so preserved that the fossil looks exactly like the original trunk.

Depending on the preservation degree, a fossil can be useful for different studies about the past.

A total of _____ amino acids compose the majority of protein in living things and nine are _____ to human
Evgen [1.6K]

A total of <u>20</u> amino acids compose the majority of protein in living things and nine are <u>essential</u> to human.

  • All living organisms, from bacteria to people, depend on amino acids for survival.
  • The same 20 types of amino acids are present in all living things.
  • Only 21 amino acids are required by the human body to create all the proteins required for growth and function.
  • Your body can create thousands of different types of proteins with only the same 21 amino acids because they can be ordered in a wide variety of ways.
  • The body is unable to produce essential amino acids. They must therefore originate from food.
  • Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine are the nine essential amino acids.
