Amylose is a form of starch made up of α glucose monomers that are bound by 1-4 linkages. How would the molecule be affected if

the subcomponents were joined by 1-6 linkages instead? Explain how this might affect the function of the resulting molecule. (5 points)

Answer:

It would become the same as another of starch component similar glycogen. Amylose as you mentioned have 1-4 bonds but glycogen have 1-6 bonds. Glycogen is more branched and this makes it less soluble in water. also it is used as a storage medium only and it is not easily digested. Just the level of complexity would have increased. solubility would have lessened

Answer:

Part of the extracellular matrix secreted by osteocytes. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Cells which are present on bones are known as osteocytes. Bone is composed of extracellular matrix, and cells. There are three types of cells which are present in the bones:

1) Osteoprogenitor cells.

2) Osteoblast.

3) Osteocyte.

Extracellular matrix is composed of organic matrix consisting glycoproteins, proteoglycans, osteocalcin also known as calcium binding proteins, and osteonectin which anchors bone mineral to collagen.

Answer:

C.

mark me the brainliest if this helps

Explanation:

Simple diffusion is pretty much exactly what it sounds like – molecules move down their gradients through the membrane. Molecules that practice simple diffusion must be small and nonpolar*, in order to pass through the membrane. Simple diffusion can be disrupted if the diffusion distance is increased. If the alveoli in our lungs fill with fluid (pulmonary edema), the distance the gases must travel increases, and their transport decreases. Facilitated diffusion is diffusion that is helped along (facilitated by) a membrane transport channel. These channels are glycoproteins (proteins with carbohydrates attached) that allow molecules to pass through the membrane. These channels are almost always specific for either a certain molecule or a certain type of molecule (i.e. an ion channel), and so they are tightly linked to certain physiologic functions. For example, one such transporter channel, GLUT4, is incredibly important in diabetes. GLUT4 is a glucose transporter found in fat and skeletal muscle. Insulin triggers GLUT4 to insert into the membranes of these cells so that glucose can be taken in from the blood. Since this is a passive mechanism, the amount of sugar entering our cells is proportional to how much sugar we consume, up to the point that all our channels are being used (saturation). In type II diabetes mellitus, cells do not respond as well to the presence of insulin, and so do not insert GLUT4 into their membranes. This can lead to soaring blood glucose levels which can cause heart disease, stroke, and kidney
