Answer: The differences in the assembly and organization of the monomers of these two polymers result in different chemical properties.
Explanation:
Starch and Cellulose flare both polysaccharides which are constructed from the same monomer called glucose. The functions they provide in plants are different which includes the following:
- STARCH is used by plants for energy storage because unlike Cellulose, it's formed from glucose units( oriented in the same direction) connected by alpha linkages which can form compact structures that can easily be broken down.
- Cellulose provides structural support for plant cell wall because unlike Starch, it's formed from glucose units( which rotates 180 degrees around the axis of the polymer backbone chain) connected by beta linkages. This pattern gives Cellulose it's rigid features as is allows for hydrogen bonding between two molecules of Cellulose.
Therefore the statement that best describes why starch and cellulose provide different functions in plants is that (The differences in the assembly and organization of the monomers of these two polymers result in different chemical properties).
Well, put simply, biology is the study of life. Everything living is organic (everything living decomposes). Biologists study living things which have organic chemistry.
The blood cells likely placed in a "hypotonic solution".
<u>Option: A</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
When human blood cells are immersed in a solution with a low concentration of solute than is present in cells, osmosis allows water to pass through the cells, allowing the cells to get swollen; such a fluid is hypotonic to the cells. But when held in a solution with a greater concentration of solute, osmosis allows water to pass out of the cell, the cell is smaller and crenated in form; then a solution is hypertonic to the cells.
Healthcare facilities preserve human blood cells in a plasma solution that has the proper salt and protein ratios. Such solution is formulated to be mildly hypertonic to the red cells, thus maintaining the integrity of the cells and avoiding hemolysis.
Use this:
pH = 7 => neutral
pH > 7 => basic (alkaline)
pH < 7 => acidic
So, a pH of 7.6 means the soil is alkaline.
Now, to reduce the impact you should lower the pH.
Sulfur forms acid (H2S or H2SO4) which will lower the pH.
So, adding sulfur will result in the (at least partial) neutralization of the pH and so reduce the impact on plant growth.
Answers: 1) alkaline, 2) sulfur.
