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.

Neurogenic shock, or spinal shock, is a phenomenon caused by the inability of the vasomotor center in the brain stem to control
just olya [345]
In neurogenic shock, the characteristic mechanism is the reduction of sympathetic outflow from the brainstem leading to the decreased in the blood vessel tone and eventually vasodilation. In the presence of vasodilation, there will be decreased blood pressure and eventually shock. Since there is reduced sympathetic outflow, there will also be a decreased heart rate, warm skin (from the vasodilation), and dry skin (from the reduced cholinergic stimulation of the sweat glands).

mars1129 [50]
Question number 1.
The correct answer is: The insects are the same species.
There is still a lot of discussion in the scientific community on how should we define a biological species, but one of the main points that all scientists agree on is that the members of the same biological species are individuals that can successfully reproduce and leave viable and fertile offspring.

Question number two 
The correct answer is : The graph showing directional natural selection.
In the case of the fish species of the coral reef, there are two extremes of the phenotype the dark orange and the pale one.
Before the bleaching of the coral, the dark orange phenotype was better adapted to the environment. But after the bleaching of the coral, the pale phenotype now resembles the coral background more and it is able to hide from the predators better than the dark orange one.
This will result in natural selection favoring the pale phenotype more and working in the direction of this extreme on the graph.
