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.

The stomata you view on the surface of the leaves are used in gas exchange and the guard cells regulate this exchange. What do y
beks73 [17]

Answer:

They will collapse and shut off the stomatal pore

Explanation:

The guard cells are regulated by the presence of water. When water is present, they become turgid and open up the stomatal pore and when water is inadequate, they become flaccid, collapse and close up the stomatal pore as a result.

<em>If the leaf is left under the microscope for too long, there will be loss of water by evapotranspiration and the guard cell will become flaccid and collapse as a result and the stomatal pore will become closed.</em>

Justine is ice-skating at the Lloyd center what is her final velocity if she accelerates at a rate of 2.0m/s for 3.5 seconds?
Alina [70]

7 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration,

Where v and u are the final and initial velocities of the Justine respectively, t is the time taken for Justin to attain final velocity.

Making v the subject then

v=at+u

Taking u as zero then

Substituting 3.5 for t, 2 as a then

v=3.5*2=7 m/s
