Answer:

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

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

Glycogen 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.

densk [106]

Answer:the following can be done to allow more NaCl to dissolve;

1.) heating the mixture.

2.) Addition of extra water to the solution.

Explanation:

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the polar water molecules are able to work their way in between the individual ions in the lattice. The water molecules surround the negative chloride ions and positive sodium ions and pull them away into the solution. This process is called dissociation. Now when the solution is heated, the rate of the dissociation between the two molecules increases leading to more dissolution of NaCl. Also in the absence of heating, more Water molecules can be added to the solution to decrease it's saturation thereby favouring the dissolution of more NaCl.

What is the probability of a homozygous recessive individual (ss) producing a gamete with a dominant allel (S)?

Ainat [17]

The probability that a homozygous recessive individual would be producing a dominant allele would be 0%. If expressed as a percentage, this is because the individual does not even have the possible allele in its genotype for whatever trait or feature that the protein codes for.
