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>

Letter D is the correct answer.

Disruptive selection, also known as diversifying selection, is a type of natural selection that drives a population apart. This type of selection is based on the variation of a trait in a population.

Please answer I really need help

Answer:

1. Non-living

2. Reproduce

3. Nucleic acid

4. RNA

5. Protein

6. Capsid

7. Burst

8. Lytic

9. Lysogenic

Explanation:

Viruses are set of organisms classified as NON-LIVING (1) because they do not exhibit the characteristics that living things exhibit. Viruses are incapable of REPRODUCING (2) on their own, and hence, need a living host to infect in order to replicate itself.

In the structural composition of a virus, it is made up of only one type of NUCLEIC ACID (3), which can either be DNA or RNA (4). The nucleic acid is surrounded by a PROTEIN (5) coat called CAPSID (6).

There are two ways a virus can infect its host. First, it can replicate itself causing the host cell to BURST (7) or lyse in a process called LYTIC CYCLE (8). Also, the virus can remain dormant in the host cell and continually replicate with the host cell in a process called LYSOGENIC CYCLE (9).
