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.

Frozen water (ice) has less density than liquid water.
WARRIOR [948]
The ice has less density than liquid water, so it floats on the water surface. Therefore during the winter all the lakes and rivers are frozen only at a top. Deeper layers of water are cold, but still liquid and it allows fish and other organisms to survive. Moreover, the ice cover provides temperature isolation so liquid water beneath the ice has more or less constant temperature (around 4 dgr Celsius)

The benefits of society includes many facilities such as financial benefits, or assistance for education, assistance for unemployment and many more.
