Answer: A branched polymer has greater terminal glucose residues in comparison to a unbranched polymer of the same molecular weight resulting in a higher number of terminal glucose residues required to be mobilized when energy is demanded. Enzyme and polymer evolve together to meet the dire need for rapid mobilization.

Explanation:

In comparison to an unbranched polymer, a branched polymer has a more compact and symmetrical molecular conformation with a greater terminal glucose residue. It can be broken down easily when energy is needed. For instance, the branched form of starch, amylopetin, in the small intestine starch is hydrolyzed to form glucose which is converted to biochemical energy and stored for later use.

vekshin1

Answer:

Any process that involves active transport most often involves the​ expenditure of energy in the form of ATP hydrolysis.

Explanation:

Active transport in cells is a form of transport which involves the transport of solute molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient using energy provided from some chemical reaction occuring in the cell.

Active transport is an endergonic (energy-requiring) process and therefore, must proceed only when coupled to an exergonic (energy-releasing) process such as the breakdown of ATP, an oxidation reaction, absorption of sunlight, etc.

In many instances in cell, such as the Na/K pump, ATP hydrolysis is the the common exergonic reaction to which active transport is coupled to.

12. Unlike many retellings of the myth of Icarus, this poem
Mandarinka [93]

Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about the poem "Icarus's Flight". it is necessary that you always provide all the necessary information for your question to be answered as you deserve.

Answer:

The poem states that Icarus did the right thing because he used his skills to try to achieve his desire, instead of just wondering if "would it have worked?"

Explanation:

In short, we can say that the poem states that Icarus did the right thing, because he allowed himself to try. He had a desire, which he knew was risky, but he preferred to use his skills, rather than just theorizing about what might or might not happen. Icarus had a desire and he challenged himself and went after it, instead of just whining and questioning.

The poem shows, in the eighteenth line, that even in the face of possible failure, Icarus' experience would allow him to know himself better, knowing his weaknesses and strengths.

A group of students wants to study the structures of animals in the desert. One question they should ask is-
Brrunno [24]

From studies and research, I believe the proper question would be:

"How do the animals satisfy their need for water?" or "How long do the animals live?"

Explanation 1:

When studying the desert, asking "Can you buy the animals in pet stores?" is not going to help you find information about the desert because it is not a question to get information about the desert, only information if you just buy it at your local pet shop.

Explanation 2:

Asking "How many offspring do the animals have?" does help us learn about animals, but we are trying to find information on the structure of the desert in which the animals live in. We are not looking for how many children the animals will have because it doesn't fully relate to the question we would be asking.

Side Note: Offsprings mean children.
