The direct economic impact of aflatoxin contamination in crops results mainly from a reduction in marketable volume, loss in value in the national markets, inadmissibility or rejection of products by the international market, and losses incurred from livestock disease, consequential morbidity and mortality.

The major difference between starch, glycogen, and cellulose and their adjacent glucose subunits is the ________.

sveta [45]

Answer:

Starch is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

Cellulose is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.

Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.

Why does the moon appear to change its shape as seen from earth?

Fiesta28 [93]

D.
Different parts of the sun lit moon become visible as the moon revolves around earth

This happens because as the moon orbits earth the sun will project light towards it and the reason it seems to glow is because of the reflected light since the moon is white it reflects more light. Think of it as a day and night cycle except it’s on the moon when it becomes night on earth the part of earth facing towards the sun will be lit aka day/morning/afternoon etc
The part of the earth facing away will be dark aka night/midnight/etc.

Which component of the signal transduction pathway in rod cells is found in the cytosol of the cell? which component of the sign

kow [346]

The correct answer is cGMP.
cGMP, during the dark (when there are no stimulations of photoreceptor cells), reaches high intracellular levels. When the light stimulation occurs cGMP levels decrease because it is converted to GMP by phosphodiesterase. Phosphodiesterase is activated by transducin which is activated by excited rhodopsin (contains photopigment).

Low levels of cGMP block the cGMP gated ion channels and that prevents the entry of Na and Ca. Because of that membranes becomes more negative, hyperpolarization occurs and this creates a signal for the next cell.
