Why did comets form in the Kuiper belt and not in the asteroid belt

Biology

Zolol [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Asteroids lie in the asteroid belt and comets lie in the Kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Neptune. The composition of asteroids and comets is different.

Comets are composed of rocks, dust, ice and frozen gases. These are thought  to be formed from the debris of the solar system.

On the other hand, asteroids are irregular shape and size rocky bodies lying between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter. There are thought be remnants of a planet which could not form.

Comets formed in the Kuiper belt because of very low temperature and what they are composed of.

Polysaccharide digestion and glycogen breakdown involve sequential cleavage from ________ ends of glucose polymers.
Alex787 [66]

Sequential cleavage from the non-reducing terminals of glucose molecules is required for both glycogen degradation and polysaccharides hydrolysis.

Why non-reducing end is selected for digestion?

A polysaccharide's non-reducing end is the one where an anomeric carbon participates in the glycosidic connection. The elimination of carbohydrate remnants one at a time out from the non-reducing terminal occurs during glycogenolysis and polysaccharides hydrolysis.

  • For example, several enzymes are involved in glycogenolysis in the liver and muscle.
  • An example of such an enzyme is glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyzes the successive dissociation of the alpha 1->4 glycosidic bond that connects two glucose molecules at a non-reducing terminal of glycogen. The last glucose residue is eliminated as alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate.

That is why non-reducing end of glucose is chosen for digestion or breakdown of the carbohydrate polymer.

Why is the position of the eyes of a macaw makes it difficult to judge distance
OLEGan [10]
The position of the eyes of a Macaw are as follows. Each eye is located on either side of the birds head. This is called Monocular vision, opposed to our eyes which are located in front of our head, adjacent to each other. Mono comes from the Greek root word meaning 'alone'. Making it understandable that, that type of vision is more limited.  The operation of their eyes, view things differently in comparison to that of binocular vision (what we humans have). They have a more broad view but cannot judge distance or depth very well.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation just let me know! :)
