Why can't humans digest all carbohydrates ?

Biology
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
6 0
The enzymes that digest carbohydrates are very specific and can only digest specific glucose monomers of a Polysaccharides. For example our body can digest starch since its made up of α-glucose monomers (the difference of α-glucose and β-glucose is just on the location of the hydroxl group). However <span>Polysaccharides</span> like cellulose are indigestible because cellulose is made up of β-glucose and the enzyme which digests polysaccharides in humans (amylase) cannot detect β-glucose linkages.

Explain how seasonal fires benefit grassland ecosystems.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Without fires, there would be no life on Earth . Fires are key to maintaining the proper oxygen concentration in the atmosphere; fire regulates the carbon cycle and life, as we know it, is based precisely on carbon

Explanation:

Although we tend to think of fires as a human invention that kills plants, animals, people, fire, as with rain or wind, is an essential natural component, basic to maintain the planet's biodiversity.

As for example, grassland ecosystems are also benefited by the same fires that allow renewal, and generate natural sustainability on the earth through the carbon cycle.

Which of the following is correct? Which of the following is correct? Most of the ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphoryl
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Each FADH2 yields about 1.5 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Most of the ATP molecules are produced by oxidative phosphorylation, not by substrate-level phosphorylation. During glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules per glucose are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation. Similarly, Kreb's cycle also yields 2 ATP per glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation.

For each pair of electrons transferred to O2 from FADH2 via electron transport chain, 4 and 2 protons are pumped from matrix towards the intermembrane space by complex III and complex IV respectively. It generates the proton concentration gradient required to drive the synthesis of 1.5 ATP molecules. Since oxidation of FADH2 is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP, the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.

What are three facts about hydrogen
Ksenya-84 [330]
Hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table of  elements. Hydrogen gas is always bonded to itself or something else to fill its outer shell. That is why hydrogen gas is represented as H2. Hydrogen<span> is odorless, colorless, and tasteless; therefore, it is undetectable by human senses.</span>
