Incomplete question. However, I provided some examples of polysaccharides and their varying glucose structures.

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Glycogen and Starch: this polysaccharide has a glucose structure that consists of a hydroxyl (-OH) group which is attached to $C_{1}$ .

2. Amylose: The glucose structure is joined together by 1,4 glycosidic bonds in a helix form.

3. Amylopectin: In the glucose structure of Amylopectin it is observed that there are two types of bonding structure that exist, they are 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds.

2) Which biome has the most constant conditions over the course of the year? EXPLAIN your answer!

deff fn [24]

The most constant temperature is found in tropical rainforest.

Tropical rainforests are found near the equator and have temperatures between 20°C and 25°C year-round. There is no dry season in tropical rainforests, all months have an average precipitation and receive about 250 cm of rainfall per year. Tropical forests are classified by the amount of rainfall received each year.

How does type 1 diabetes impact the negative feedback loop that controls glucose levels in the bloodstream?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Insulin causes the body's cells to take in and store glucose, lowering the blood glucose concentration. If blood glucose gets too low, the body releases glucagon, which causes the release of glucose from some of the body's cells.

Wei W, Zhao H, Wang A, et al. A clinical study on the short-term effect of berberine in comparison to metformin on the metabolic

marshall27 [118]

A group of Chinese women with PCOS who were receiving treatment saw several metabolic and hormonal imbalances improve after taking BBR. The primary consequences may be connected to the modifications in body composition in obesity and dyslipidemia. For the evaluation of the possible beneficial metabolic effects of BBR in women with PCOS, additional controlled trials are required.

PCOS:

Objective: Insulin resistance is a common metabolic and reproductive condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (IR). A quinoline derivative alkaloid known as berberine (BBR) has been utilized as an insulin sensitizer and is isolated from Chinese medicinal herbs. There may be a therapeutic benefit for PCOS from BBR. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of BBR and metformin (MET) on the metabolic characteristics of PCOS-affected women.
Design and methods: Ninety nine PCOS and IR patients were randomly assigned to one of three therapy groups: BBR+ compound cyproterone acetate (CPA; $n=31$ ), MET $+$ CPA $(n=30)$ , and placebo $+$ CPA $(n=28)$ for $3$ months. Before and after the treatment period, metabolic and hormonal measures as well as the clinical characteristics of the women were evaluated.
Results: Reduced waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR;P< $0.01$ ), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC; P< $0.05$ ), as well as increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; P< $0.05$ ) were all observed following treatment with BBR as compared to MET. Similarly, BBR treatment decreased WHR, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model evaluation for IR, area under the insulin curve, TC, LDLC, and TG (P< $0.05$ ), while increasing HDLC and SHBG (P< $0.01$ ) as compared to placebo.
