Why are polysacchrides more difficult to digest than monoascchrides

Biology
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
3 0
Polysaccharides are more difficult to digest than monosaccharides because unlike monosaccharides which are single, separate glucose units, polysaccharides are composed of many glucose units which are covalently linked together by glycosidic bonds. Digestion of polysaccharides is more difficult because these bonds have to be broken up and therefore the body will take longer to digest the polysaccharides. Since monosaccharides have no linkage to any other molecule, they tend to yield energy to the body much faster than polysaccharides and therefore monosaccharide containing foods will give the body energy faster than polysaccharide containing food.

Which gas is most effective in absorbing incoming harmful ultraviolet radiation in the earth's stratosphere before that radiatio
artcher [175]

Answer:

Ozone (O₃) gas

Explanation:

In the Earth's stratosphere, oxygen gas (O₂) is combined with atomic oxygen (O) to form ozone gas (O₃). This is very important because ozone protects the life on Earth from ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. UV radiation is high-energy radiation, and it is very dangerous for living organisms. Ozone molecule (O₃) absorbs UV radiation and it breaks down by forming O₂ and atomic oxygen (O) again. In this way, it protects the Earth from nocive radiation.

A researcher is curious if Bt resistant bollworms are susceptible to an insecticide called DDT. Bollworms susceptible to Bt have
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3/16 or 18.75% portion will be resistant to both Bt and DDT.

Explanation:

It is given that bollworms that are susceptible to Bt are represented by either RR or Rr and resistance one are shown by rr genotype and bollworms that are resistant to DDT are represent TT or Tt genotype and susceptible to DDT have tt genotype.

Cross: RR tt with rr TT

Gametes: Rt and rT

F1 cross:

    RT

rT  RrTt ( susceptible Bt and resistant DDT)

F1 Cross with F1

Gametes: RT, Rt, rT and rt

cross:

             RT      Rt        rT         rt

RT       RRTT   RRTt   RrTT    RrTt

Rt        RRTt    RRtt    RrTt      RrTt

rT       RrTT    RrTt     rrTt       rrTt

rt       RrTt      Rrtt     rrTt      rrtt

The bold genotypes are the three out of 16 that are resistant to both DDT and Bt.
