There are two main functions for polysaccharides in living things. Discuss these two functions, and how the structures of polysa

ccharide molecules support these functions.
Now I know that all polysaccharides are made up of the same monomer, glucose. Is this question essentially asking me the use of glucose throughout different organisms?

Two main functions of polysaccharides in living things are:
1. structural components
2. energy storage.

Those polysaccharides that are not easily broken down are used as structural components. Some of them are cellulose in plants and chitin in insects and crustacean.
On the other hand, starch and glycogen are easily broken down, so they serve as energy storage. <span>When energy is needed immediately, they break down to glucose and great amount of energy is released, </span>

Match the following terms and definitions. 1. an electrical nerve impulse sent by nerve fibers to the central nervous system for
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1. an electrical nerve impulse sent by nerve fibers to the central nervous system for interpretation. <u>Action potential. </u>

2. neurons that detect chemicals such as those found in food. <u>Chemoreceptors. </u>

3. type of eyes many arthropods have; eyes that protrude outward and consist of many lenses. <u>Compound eyes. </u>

4. the structure that gives the response to an environmental change.<u> Effector</u>

5. neurons that detect electrical fields. <u>Electroreceptors. </u>

6. secretion of hormones into the blood stream to affect distant processes. <u>Endocrine.</u>

Explanation:  

An action potential is a change in the internal charge of a cell due to depolarization. These changes allow the transmission of a message from any part of the body to the central nervous system. The central nervous system will interpret the message and will give a response.

There are different types of receptors in our bodies. Chemoreceptors are the ones that detect chemicals and produce an action potential or a neurotransmitter. These receptors respond to chemicals. Another type of receptor is the electroreceptors. They detect electrical fields and are only on the skin of aquatic animals.

Compound eyes have a large number of ommatidia. As a result, the anthropods with this type of eyes have a large view angle. In other words, every ommatidium sees an image, and the final product is a combination of all of them.

The effector is the structure that gives an answer once an affector has sent the message to the nervous system that there was a change in the environment.

There are different kinds of secretions, autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine. In the endocrine secretion, the gland secrets hormones into the bloodstream so that they can travel long distances up to their target cell, which is far from the gland.

Which of the following is NOT true of enzyme activity? a. enzyme shape may change during catalysis b. the active site on an enzy
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

D. Each enzyme can catalyze a wide variety of different reactions

Explanation:

Each enzyme can only catalyze a few, specific types of reactions.

Since enzymes and substrates are very specific to one another, enzymes cannot catalyze a wide variety of reactions.

If a substrate is not the correct one that fits in the enzyme's active site, a reaction will not occur.

So, each enzyme can only assist in a few reactions.

The correct answer is D. Each enzyme can catalyze a wide variety of different reactions

How to write 778,000,000 in scientific notation
Anestetic [448]

To answer the question what is 77800000 in scientific notation let’s recall how to convert 77800000 to scientific notation as detailed on our home page.

When you split the number 77800000 into a coefficient and a power of 10 you do get 77800000 in exponential form, but there is an indefinite number of possibilities.

As you probably want 77800000 in normalized scientific notation, the coefficient or significand of 77800000 in scientific notation must be in the interval [1,10[.

As there are many ways to express 77800000 in scientific notation, in this post we mean 77800000 in normalized scientific notation, unless stated otherwise. Therefore:

77800000 in scientific notation = 7.78 × 107.

Step 2: The animal eats a plant and uses it carbohydrates for energy.

Step 3: The animal releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during respiration.

Step 4: The cycle repeats when the carbon stored in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas is taken in.
