Biology
1 answer:
leonid [27]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. Enzymes break up glycogen from its non-reducing end one glucose at a time.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of glucose moieties and serves as energy stores in animals, bacteria and also fungi.

Glycogen is degraded or broken down by an enzyme called glycogen phosphorylase. Glycogen phosphorylase hydrolyses glycogen to produce glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen molecule short of one glucose. This enzyme only catalyzes from the non reducing end of a glycogen where terminal carbon is free of ketone or aldehyde group.

  • Have a mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoskeleton, vesicles, larger ribosomes, golgi apparatus, vacuoles, cell wall, and a flagella
  • Eukaryotes are bigger than prokaryotes.

Prokaryotic

  • Does not have a nucleus
  • Has one chromosome (not a true chromosome, plasmid.)

Suppose we discovered a form of life like our own which utilized 20 amino acids, but had 6 nitrogeneous bases instead of the 4 o
mezya [45]
The minimum legth of a codon could be two. If it was only one of the 6 nitrogeneous bases in a codon, we'd only have 6 possible amino acids. If we have, though, a combination of two amino acids out of the 6 nitrogeneous bases, we would have then 36 possible combinations (6 possibilities for the first position × 6 possibilities for the second position) that would allow the existence of the 20 different amino acids.
In the human case, for example, with only 4 nitrogeneous bases, a combination of two amino acids would be insufficient (4×4=16) for the 20 amino acids.
