Answer:

Starch and glycogen are the polymers of glucose.

Explanation:

Starch is a polysaccharides made upof glucose units. Starch consists of amylopectin and amylose . Amylose consists of linear chain of glucose molecule linked through ∝-1,4 glycosidic bonds whereas amylopectin also contains branched chain structure with ∝1,6 glycosidic bonds and ∝-1,4 glycosidic bonds (linear). Starch is present in plants.

Glycogen is a polysaccharides contains large number of glucose molecules. The structure of glycogen and amylopectin is quite similar. Glycogen contains both ∝-1,4 (linear) and ∝1,6 (branched chain) glycosidic linkages. Glycogen is present in animals.

Eva8 [605]

Answer :

Surfactant deficiency due to undeveloped lungs (in premature infants) suggest respiratory distress in an infant, but would be less likely to be observed in an adult beacuse in adults , lungs are fully developed and lack of surfactant is less.

Explanation:

Respiratory distress syndrome is a type of neonatal disease of respiration ,caused by deficiency of the surfactant produced by type II alveolar cells in the lungs most commonly in premature infants.

Normally , the lungs of the fetus start the formation of the surfactant during the third trimester (26 weeks through labor and delivery ) but in the premature infants , the lungs are not totally developed , hence lack of surfactant production results in the respiratory distress syndrome charactarized by inflammation of the airways due to the lack of the surface tension lowring effect of the surfactant.

In gel electrophoresis, how are the dna samples added to the wells?.

jenyasd209 [6]

DNA samples are added into wells with the help of electric current.

<h3>How dna samples added to the wells?</h3>

DNA samples are added into wells at one end of a gel whereas an electric current is applied to pull them through the gel. DNA fragments are negatively charged, so they move towards the positive electrode.

So we can conclude that DNA samples are added into wells with the help of electric current.

disa [49]

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is secrete by the embryo early in pregnancy to keep the corpus luteum for dying. This positive feedback will maintain the corpus luteum, which secretes Progesterone and Estrogens throughout pregnancy, in order to keep the endometrium well to nourish the embryo/fetus.
