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>

Which of the following statements regarding energy systems is false? Select one: a. All systems are active at all times but one
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.  One system is switched on while the others are switched off is a false statement.

Explanation:

A biological energy system is a set of biochemical reactions known as metabolic processes that are concerned with the energy flow in an organism. In these processes energy converts into the ATP that is helpful in all types of cellular or muscular activity.

In the biological energy system, multiple or more than one system can be active at a time its not necessary that one system has to switch off while other is on.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. One system is switched on while the others are switched off is a false statement.

What were the first hominins? What was the evolutionary fate of the first hominins?
Zanzabum

Answer:

A) Pre-australopithecinerobust.

B) Australopithecinesgenus Homo.

Explanation:

Pre-australopithecinerobust.

The few findings indicate that he walked with his back straight, but the shape of the foot, with the big toe directed inward (as in the hands) instead of being parallel to the others, indicates that he should walk leaning on the outside of his feet and he couldn't travel great distances

Australopithecinesgenus Homo.

The first hominids that are certain that they were completely biped are the members of the Australopithecus genus, this type of hominin thrived in the wooded savannas of East Africa between 4 and 2.5 million years ago with remarkable ecological success, as evidenced by the radiation he experienced, with at least five different species scattered from Ethiopia and Chad to South Africa.
