Explanation:

(1)Starch

Carbohydrates are molecules that supply energy and provide support consist mainly of sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers. Inclusive of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides (which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers), their basic makeup comprises C, H, O -with many polar OH groups.

Many long chain polysaccharides are made up of glucose joined by regular 1-4 glycosidic bonds used as energy storage (produced through phtosynthesis) and used for ATP synthesis via respiration, ethyl alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Plants are mostly comprised of structural units cellulose and lignin. However, cellulose is their main structural polysaccharide, found within cell walls.

It is made up of special β, 1-4 glycosidic bonds, which give structural polysaccharides their rigid, strong structure; cellulose is not water-soluble and is highly stable.  When arranged in α 1-4 glycosidic bonds these molecules are water-soluble and form the stable storage molecule starch. Starch is the main storage reserve in plants- the polymer is produced after glucose production in photosynthesis.

7. What is the kinetic energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is rolling at 2 meters per second?
nydimaria [60]
Kinetic energy = 0.5*M*V^2 

 Q7-
 
0.5*3*(2^2)= 6J

Q8a- 

0.5*2*(2^2)= 4J
0.5*4*(3^2)=18J 
the second ball has more kinetic energy.

Q8b-

at the max height, all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy, 

gravitational potential energy is = M*g*h

that theory would apply if you wanted to work out the maximum height achieved if the balls were thrown upward by rearranging. But, we are simply working out which ball will have more potential energy so:

First ball:
2kg*9.81(g)*10m = 196.2J

Second ball
4kg*9.81*10m= 392.4J

The second ball has more potential energy

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

B. Use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to make multiple copies of the DNA.

Explanation:

The scientist is to analyze a small sample of DNA, the most useful step to start this would be first the use of polymerase chain reaction to make various copies of that DNA sample. PCR is essential and quick process that gives a lot of copies within few hours. It uses the sample or target DNA, according to which the primers are designed. Taq polymerase and DNA polymerase are also used in the process, it consist of various cycles in which copies are made. There are three basic steps 'Denaturation', 'annealing', and 'extension'.
