Answer:

<u>Starch</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Cellulose </u>is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Glycogen</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.

Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.

2) How many solutions does the equation 4x + 2(x-5) = 3(2x - 4) have? Write down the final form as well as if it has no solution
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

0 = -2, hence no solution.

Explanation:

4x + 2(x-5) = 3(2x-4)

4x + 2x - 10 = 6x - 12

     6x - 6x = -12 + 10

               0 = -2

saw5 [17]

The answer is; saturated soil turns into liquid that can't support buildings


Soil liquefaction occurs mainly in soils saturated, or partially saturated, with water such as in wetlands. During an earthquake, the waves pass through the soil and make it behave like a wave in a fluid. This causes the soil to loosen temporarily and become weak. The foundation of buildings in the soil fail and the structures collapse.

dmitriy555 [2]

<u>Explanation:</u>

The earth rotates about its in every 24 hours.  When the earth's one of the sides faces the sun, then days occurs. When the side of the earth is far away from the sun, then night occurs. The earth rotates in an anticlockwise direction when we view form the north pole. The daylight sweeps the darkness from east direction to that of the west across the world.

All planes have day and night times because they all rotate about their axis. The day and night cycle time or the length differs for each planet. this is because the speed in which they rotate differs. The planet mars has the same day and night cycle length as earth.
