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.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

D. climax communities

Explanation:

The climax communities are the communities that have reached equilibrium. This basically means that there's the optimal number of species of flora and fauna, as well as the optimal populations of them in the ecosystem. They all interact and are perfectly adapted to coexist, benefit from one another, and balance the usage of food sources with its renewing. This type of communities appear at places where there has been no disturbances for quite some time, so the species lving there managed to create a perfect balance.
