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.

I would say the correct answer is B: <span>People tend to overuse or degrade shared resources. It is often not clear how much exploitative pressure a natural resource can sustain before the exploitation becomes unsustainable. So for example, various industries may dispose of waste into a river. The river has a capacity to absorb and clean a certain amount of effluent by natural degradation systems. However, at some critical mass of pollutants, these natural processes are no longer able to function properly, and the river becomes very polluted to a point were the resource cannot be utilised. Monitoring can help to gauge at which point a common resources is becoming unacceptably degraded, and this can guide policy.</span>

Why might polygenic inheritance result in a continuum of phenotypes that overlap?
Anna007 [38]

Polygenic inheritance result in a continuum of phenotypes because the genes that are involved can be considered to be co-dominant traits that fall into discrete categories are called continuous traits false.

<h3>What is Polygenic Inheritance?</h3>

A single inherited phenotypic trait that is governed by two or more separate genes is referred to as polygenic inheritance, often referred to as quantitative inheritance.

In a system that is distinct from Mendelian Genetics, wherein monogenic features are determined by the various alleles of a single gene, polygenetic traits may exhibit a variety of potential phenotypes, determined by a number of different genes and the interactions between them.

In contrast to Mendelian genetics, when one allele completely dominates or hides another, features generated by polygenic inheritance are not only the result of dominance and recessively. Instead, polygenic features show incomplete dominance, resulting in a combination of the phenotypes seen in the parents in the offspring.
