Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

All four types of polysaccharides are homopolymers ie they are made up of repeating units of only one type of monomers.

Starch, glycogen and cellulose are made up of repeating monomeric units of glucose with the number of glucose units and the different linkage types different these molecules. E.g the linkage between glucose units in glycogen is alpha 1-4 linkages and in cellulose, we have glucose in beta 1-4 linkages.

In chitin, a derivative of glucose is present in repeating units, here, we have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages.

The incidence of skin cancer has increased dramatically in parts of Australia where people are experiencing greater UV exposure
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. stratospheric ozone depletion

2. climate change

3. desertification/land degradation

4. freshwater decline

5. biodiversity loss.

Explanation:

1) Stratospheric ozone depletion- ozone layer is the protective layer around the earth that protects us from harmful rays such as UV rays coming from the sun. There are depletions or holes in the ozone layer in some parts of Australia and therefore, therefore leading to skin cancer.

2) climatic change - The change in the average temperature or precipitation of an area that takes place due to global warming that changes the earth's climate is changing rapidly.

3) desertification or land degradation - It occurs due to past overuse of fertilizer or barren land that has zero crop yield.

4 )freshwater decline - freshwater is an essential part of the irrigation of crops in agriculture and due to the downfall of groundwater its decline the freshwater produce in these parts.

5) biodiversity loss - Coral reefs are habitats for many aquatic organisms and used as various ways of biodiversity. If there is a loss or decrease in their numbers it will affect and decline the biodiversity of the area.

What change is observed in leukocytes during an allergic disorder (type I hypersensitivity) often caused by asthma, hay fever, a
blagie [28]

Answer:

Increase in eosinophils.

Explanation:

The leukocytes are the white blood cell that plays an important role in the immune system. The white blood cell include eosinophil, basophil, neutrophil and monocytes.

The allergic reactions that are caused by hay fever or asthma is marked by the excess increase in the number of eosinophils in the body. The eosinophils are the first to reach at the site of parasitic infections and protect the body during the allergic reactions.

Thus, the answer is eosinophils.
