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>

Hunt and her team designed an experiment to test her hypothesis about the effect of BPA on mice. They administered daily doses o
katovenus [111]

Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.

An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:

  • <em><u>Control</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
  • <em><u>Treatment</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> receives the treatment;

For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the <u>others</u> are <u>treatment group</u>.

The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:

  • <em><u>Independent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the cause;
  • <em><u>Dependent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the effect;

For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, <u>dosage</u> of BPA is the <u>independent</u> variable and <em>time</em> is the <em>dependent</em> variable.

Jenny predicts that when water in a cup evaporates, the mass of the water and cup together will get smaller.
Elden [556K]

A.  Use a scale to measure the mass of a cup of water. Leave the cup out for one day and measure the mass again.

Explanation:

Jenny can predict is evaporation occurs by using a weighing scale to measure that mass of a cup of water, then he leaves the cup out for one day and he measures the mass again.

  • If the mass remains the same, then evaporation did not occur.
  • If evaporation occurs, then the mass will be lesser after the second measurement.
  • From this Jenny can infer the mass loss and made good deductions.
  • Evaporation is a phase change in which liquid turns to vapor.
