Before starch can enter a cell it must be digested to form simple sugars. Why?

Biology
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
5 0
Starch is a high molecular weight substance; therefore, it is insoluble to our cells. It needs to be broken down to simple sugars like glucose in order for it to be dissolved/absorbed in our blood. This is because simple sugars has smaller molecular weights and are more soluble.

How does the equation for cellular respiration compared with the equation for photosynthesis?
nignag [31]
In plants, photosynthesis, occurring in chloroplasts, is an anabolic (bond-building) process whereby CO2 and H2O combine with the use of light (photon) energy. This yields O2 and sugar (i.e. glucose). This occurs in 2 phases: light-dependent and dark (Calvin cycle) reactions, which both continually recycle ADP/ATP and NADP/NADPH.
The catabolic (bond-breaking) process in plants is cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down with O2 by glycolysis (cytoplasm only) and mitochondrial reactions (Krebs cycle and E.T.C.) to yield CO2 and H2O. These reactions recycle ADP/ATP and NAD/NADH. The CO2 and water produced by cellular respiration feed into the photosynthetic processes, and in turn, the O2 and glucose resulting from photosynthesis supply the respiratory reactions.

Organisms that live in the rainforest have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. Which adaptation would most
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Your answer is most probably A). B) implies that nuts are the only thing for birds to eat in a rainforest, which doesn't make sense, C) implies that the insects would need a widely-varied diet to survive, but again there's an abundance of things that a hungry bug can eat, so they don't need a wide dietary coverage, D) suggests that there may be droughts in the area for which the plant may need to be prepared, but in the RAINforest droughts are uncommon.

Which activity is most likely a result of a sudden, unexpected change in the environment?. . A.A snake shedding its skin. B.Bird
gulaghasi [49]
Answer - C
Snakes periodically shed their skin in order to regrow new skin. Birds migrating to the south and bears hibernating are also a result of normal periodic transitions. However, extinction of a type of shrimp is most likely a result of a drastic change in the environment.
