Glycogen is highly branched. what advantage, if any, does this provide to an animal as compared to purely linear glucose polymer

s? the α(1→6) glycosidic linkages at glycogen branch points are more easily hydrolyzed than the α(1→4) glycosidic linkages in linear amylose. many more glucose monomers can be stored in a branched polymer. the number of available terminal glucose monomers is higher for glycogen, thus making glucose production more rapid. the branched polymer is more soluble in water, and thus easier to digest. none of the above

The answer is ‘The number of available terminal glucose monomers is higher for glycogen, thus making glucose production more rapid.’ When glucagon is hydrolyzing glycogen, more glucose<span> molecules are released per hydrolyzing event unlike in a linear molecule that would release a glucose at a time. </span>

Which statement best describes ecological succession?
Delicious77 [7]

The correct answer is it always occurs in a predictable pattern.

Ecological successsion is defined as a <em>change in the structure of species of an ecological community over a period of tim</em>e. The succession that begins in a new environment by uninfluence of pre-existing species is called primary succession. The disruption of pre-existing community because of succession is called secondary succession. Ecological succession happens in a predictable pattern. The ecological communities undergoes predictable change which creates a disturbance or initial formation of new habitat. This changes occurs in an orderly manner and can be best explained by the example of trees how they grow bigger and bigger.
