Answer:

a) glycogen, starch, and amylopectin.

Explanation:

Amylase can only break polymers which have α glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers. Starch, glycogen and amylopectin they all are α polymers of glucose. Their description is mentioned as under:

<u>Starch: </u>

Amylose & amylopectin are 2 forms of starch. Amylose is a helical and unbranched polymer of glucose with α ( 1 → 4) linkage. ~ 15 % of starch exists in amylose form.

<u>Amylopectin:</u>

Amylopectin is a form of starch but it is branched and it has 2 types of linkages α ( 1 → 4) linkage & α ( 1 → 6) linkage. Almost 80-85 % of starch exists in this form.

<u>Glycogen:</u>

Glycogen is somehow similar to that of amylopectin with the only difference that it has more branching as compared to amylopectin.

Rest of the options include polymers which have β linkage like chitin & cellulose so those options are wrong.

Jesse is studying a blood sample that has only antigen B on the red blood cells and antibody A in the plasma. What is the type o
lesya [120]

Answer:

Option: B+

Explanation:

The test to determine a blood group is called ABO typing. The blood sample is mixed with antibodies against type A and B blood. Then, the sample is checked whether or not the blood cells stick together. If blood cells stick together, it means the blood reacted with one of the antibodies.

B+ blood group:

A blood sample that has only antigen B on the red blood cells and antibody A in the plasma lies under B+ blood group.

B+ blood type means the person has antigen B and rhesus factor on RBC and could be able to receive blood from another B+ donor.

Please note:

As only antigen B is mentioned that is why we will consider B+ BLOOD group. Because negative antigen is not mentioned in the question and when there is no sign is mentioned we will consider it positive.

If you were aware of the amount of guanine and adenine in a cell how would you determine how much cytosine and thymine there is
disa [49]
Since guanine - cytosine and adenine - thymine are are always paired in the DNA, the amount of cytosine is approximately the same as guanine and the amount of thymine is approximately the same as adenine
