Answer:

b) glucose molecules are joined in long branched chains to make glycogen that allows for long term energy storage in animals

Explanation:

Glucose is a monosaccharide which is used for instant source of energy. Whenever there is excess glucose in the body, it is stored in the body for future use in the form of glycogen molecules. Glycogen is a long branched chain polysaccharide which is formed by joining the monomeric glucose units through glycosidic linkage. Glycogen has α--1,4 & α--1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Option A is somewhat correct but the reason for not choosing option A is because starch exists in 2 forms which are amylose and amylopectin. Although amylose is helical and unbranched yet amylopectin is a branched polymer. In the option it is not given anywhere that starch is a branched polymer.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The steps that can be seen in this story are observation and the questioning phase, which can also be called elaboration of the problem.

Explanation:

The scientific method is a set of phases that are able to guide researchers to the creation of scientific knowledge, through an experiment. This method is essential for conducting scientific research, allowing an experiment to be managed in a way that promotes answers to scientists' questions. The scientific method presents the phases called observation, questioning (or elaboration of the problem), elaboration of hypotheses, experimentation, analysis of the results and conclusion.

In the story shown in the question above, we can see the phases called observation and questioning. The observation takes place the moment Fleming noticed a fungus capable of growing on colonies of bacteria that cause throat infections, killing them. This observation made him enter the questioning phase, when he wondered if the fungus was able to prevent the growth of these bacteria.

How does anatomical homology provide evidence of evolution?
Nataly [62]
Evidence for evolution is provided by homologous structures. These are structures shared by related organisms that were inherited from a common ancestor. Other evidence for evolution is provided by analogous structures.
