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.

Which of the following statements are not true about the fossil record
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Older fossils tend to lay in the lower levels of the ground. The further up the fossils are, the more likely you are to find something that looks like today. Think of it as stacking papers with different drawings on them from different ages. Oldest goes on the bottom, newest goes on the top. The older layer stands as more of a foundation point while newer layers are around where we are now.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

II, III, IV, I

Explanation:

Blood pressure regulation is an example of negative feedback mechanism. When the blood pressure is low, sensor in the blood vessels called baroreceptors detect this and send a signal to the control center which is the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus compares the current blood pressure with the normal and proceeds to send signals to the heart, as well as blood vessels and kidneys. The heart begins to beat faster, thereby increasing the heart rate and a a result, blood pressure goes back up to normal.
