In what ways are cellulose and starch similar to each other and in what ways are they different? Be specific in your comparison,
Tom [10]
By starch, I'm assuming you mean glycogen, or animal starch.
Similarities:
Both are polysaccharide molecules made from glucose molecules linked together in a long chain.
Both are storehouses of energy.

Differences:
Glycogen is made in animal cells and is the only form of starch animals can digest (unless they have certain microbes in their intestinal tracts to break down cellulose, which all herbivores need).
Cellulose is made in plant cells.

The bonds are a bit different; the molecules are isomers. Glycogen bonds with what is called an alpha 1,4 bond, meaning that the first carbon of one glucose molecule is bonded to the 4th carbon of the next glucose molecule, but in a way that puts the bonds in a shape that falls below the plane of the molecule, and allows branching.

Cellulose bonds with beta 1,4 bonds. The first and fourth carbons of adjoining glucose molecules are still connected, but the shape of the bond falls above the plane of the molecule and does not branch.

Since enzymes are specific to their substrates, the enzymes shaped to fit glycogen bonds do not fit on cellulose bonds, which is why animals cannot digest cellulose on their own. In herbivores, there are microbes in their digestive tracts which can produce enzymes to break these bonds so the glucose can be used. In carnivores and omnivores like humans, there is no enzyme to break down cellulose so it becomes 'roughage' in our diets. It passes through the digestive tract without being broken down.

How does industrial biotechnology differ from earlier forms of biotechnology?
NemiM [27]
I think it differs since the technology used before is kind of analog and the technology used now is kind of upgraded which has a higher storage capacity

List all organelles that are found suspended or cushioned in the cytoplasm of an animal cell. There are 15 total
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The organelles in an animal cell are as follows:

cell membrane, nucleus, nucleolus, nuclear membrane, cytosol, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, mitochondria, centrosome, cytoskeleton, vacuoles, vesicles, and lysosomes.

Explanation:

An animal cell is a typical example of an eukaryotic cell i.e a cell that contains a membrane-bound nucleus. In the cell are certain structures that performs specific functions in the cell called ORGANELLES. The organelles, according to this question, are found suspended or cushioned in the cytoplasm of the animal cell.

A list of the organelles in the cytoplasm (part of the cell that excludes the nucleus) of an animal cell are as follows:

- cell membrane

- nucleus

- nucleolus

- nuclear membrane

- cytosol

- smooth endoplasmic reticulum

- rough endoplasmic reticulum

- Golgi apparatus

- ribosomes

- mitochondria

- centrosome

- cytoskeleton

- vacuoles

- vesicles

- lysosomes

Apply Research has shown that if a prescribed dose of an antibiotic is not taken completely , some bacteria might not be killed
dusya [7]

Answer:

Through natural selection the disease gain immunity to the antibiotic.

Explanation:

As the antibiotic  kills off the members of the population that are not resistant, leaving only the resistant members. These members then reproduce, passing the immunity to their offspring, causing the population to become immune.
