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.

Why do planets close to the sun have thin atmospheres and the planets far away from the sun have thick atmospheres. Use what you

den301095 [7]

Answer:

There are two primary factors: size and distance from the Sun. Gravity helps planets and moons to hold on to their atmospheres, so small planets/moons such as Mars and the Moon have thin atmospheres. The reason why the outer planets are larger is probably down to two major factors. The first is simply the amount of material available which may be accreted to a planet. Clearly, the further away from the Sun, the longer the orbit (twice as far means an orbit twice the physical length).

James wants to create a self-sustaining ecosystem, or vivarium. Which method would most likely result in an ecosystem that

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: B:Put water, fertilizer, soil, plants and insects in an open, clear glass aquarium. Place it in an area that has some sunlight

and some shade

Explanation: Alright lets analyz and simplify. First you need water of course for anything to live right. the soil and fertilizer for the plant is good because plants are autotrophs which mean through photosynthesis they can make their own food. The insectsm are heterotrophs which will help with overpopulation of plants and the sunlight and shade will allow for a balance of temperature.
