Verizon [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

break them down to monosaccharides

Explanation:

The covalent bonds between Carbon and Hydrogen atoms in polysaccharides and their monomers contain high energy that is tapped by cells to make ATPs (the energy currency of cell) in cellular respiration. Carbohydrates, such as amylose, glycogen, and starch, therefore, need to be broken down to smaller units like glucose that can be utilized by cells metabolic pathways. Carbohydrates are easily hydrolysed to provide energy when the body requires it.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

A myofibril or muscle fiber under an electron microscope shows alternate light band and dark bands.  These bands give the skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle a striated appearance. The light band is called the I- band or isotropic band, and the dark band is known as A- band or anisotropic band. In the center of the I-band Z-line is present. It is discovered from a German term Zwischenscheibe (between the disc). The portion of myofibril between one Z-line to the next Z-line is called sarcomere.

Which of the following would indicate that a person has developed a hereditary form of hypertension
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The hereditary form of hypertension is detected when the adrenal gland produces too much aldosterone.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hypertension is an important risk factor for several cardiovascular disease. If prolonged it damages the blood vessels causing malfunctioning of the heart, kidneys and brain. Hypertension can be caused due to various genetic or environmental factors.

There are cases where familial hypertension are detected. This is caused due to the mutation in a single gene which is passed on to the generations where even in young age the children are seen affected with hypertension.

This in medical terms is termed as familial hyperaldosteronism type II. This is occurred due to the mutation in CLCN2 gene. It tends to produce too much of aldosterone hormone which causes high blood pressure.

in reaction a, each sodium atom gives one electron to a chlorine atom. in reaction b, an isotope of oxygen decays to form an iso
vekshin1
The answer is <span>b.reaction b releases more energy than reaction a releases.

The reaction a is an example of a chemical reaction while the reaction b is an example of a nuclear reaction. 
</span><span>Some main differences between the chemical and nuclear reactions are:
- The nuclear reaction releases more energy per gram.
- The nuclear reaction takes place in the nucleus of the atom, while in chemical reactions include electrons.
- In the nuclear reaction, part of the mass is converted into energy, which </span><span>violates the law of conservation of mass.
</span>
Therefore, the nuclear reaction (reaction b) will release more energy than the chemical reaction (reaction a).
