Answer:
The correct option is: a. glycogen, starch, and amylopectin
Explanation:
Glycogen, amylopectin and starch are the polysaccharides of glucose. These polymers are composed of monomeric α-glucose units, which are joined by α(1→4) glycosidic bonds.
Since, the amylase enzyme can act only on the glycosidic bonds formed between α-glucose monomers. Therefore, amylase can break down glycogen, starch, and amylopectin.
Answer:
In speciation, organisms evolved with the passage of time.
Explanation:
Speciation is the evolutionary process in which populations of species evolve with the passage of time to become different species from the original one. Temporal isolation and gametic isolation are two possible prezygotic barriers of the Hawaiian honeycreepers that contribute to occur speciation. The newly available niches could lead to speciation of that organisms that tolerate the Hawaiian climatic conditions when the extinction of Hawaiian honeycreepers occurs. The new organisms used the available resources such as food and space etc and increase its population.
Answer:
Option E, C tactile (CT) afferent
Explanation:
Whenever a slow moving gentle touch experienced, the response is due to the nerve fibers called C-Tactile afferents (CTs).
C-Tactile afferents (CTs) are unmyelinated mechanoreceptors of low threshold and low conduction velocities.
In humans, CT neurons are found in hairy skin.
The pleasant feeling observed during a slow gentle touch is due to the interaction of
CT neurons project to the insular cortex in the brain
Hence, option E is correct
Answer:
Self-antigens are not recognized and attacked by the T cells.
Explanation:
In immunology, the antigens are those substances which are bound by the antibodies. The antigens can be originated from within the bodies, known as self antigens or from outside the body, known as non-self antigens. The immune system identifies and attacks non-self invaders or the foreign harmful objects present in the body. It does not attack the self-antigens under the normal conditions. This is due to the negative selection of T cells of the thymus.
