Answer:The following statements are correct: 1,2 and 6
Explanation:
1.The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation in order to minimize its torsional strain. In chair conformation 4 carbon atoms are in one plane 1 carbon atom is above that plane and the other 1 carbon atom is below that plane .This leads to chair conformation in which the bond angles are very close to the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5 degrees. The C-C-C bond angle in chair conformation is 110 degrees which is almost equal to the ideal tetrahedral angle.
2. In cyclohexane molecule as the molecule adopts a chair conformation in order to eliminate the torsional strain which would occur if the cyclohexane ring were to be planar. Torsional strain is basically the inter electronic repulsion between the atoms that do not share a bond. So this strain happens on account of eclipsing atoms. In case of eclipse structure there would be a lot of torsional strain. In case of chair conformation all the C-H bonds happen to be completely staggered in nature to eliminate the torsional strain.
3. The ring strain in case of cycloalkanes are dependent upon the number of CH₂ groups present as that would determine the size of the ring and subsequently its structure ,whether the ring would be 5 , 6 or 7 membered .Cyclohexane is a 6 -membered as there are 6CH₂ groups in it and the existence of chair conformation is only for Cyclohexane or for molecules having 6-membered ring . Any change in number of CH₂groups would lead to a different conformational structure.
4.All the bond angles in cyclohexane ring is approximately 110 degrees which is almost equal to the ideal terahedral bond angle. So the bond angles in cyclohexane are optimal.
5.The C-H bonds in cyclohexane are always staggered and never eclipsed in order to reduce there torsional strain.
6.All the bonds in cyclohexane ring are staggered to eliminate the torsional strain. It is quite evident that the cyclohexane ring is completely stable free of the ring strain.So there are no eclipsing bonds present in cyclohexane.
So the statements which are correct 1,2 and 6

Answer:
Glycogen in an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues.
Explanation:
Full question:
Glycogen ________
A) forms the regulatory molecules known as enzymes
B) serves as a structural component of human cells
C) helps to protect vital organs from damage
D) is an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues
E) contains the genetic information found in cells
Glycogen is a complex polysaccharide of glucose founded in humans, animals, fungi and even bacteria. In humans, the glycogen is made and stored in liver cells. In the center on glycogen molecule, there is a single protein called Glycogenin. It is a center of a big flower made of glucose molecules (please refer to the scheme attached - Glycogenin is red and the blue lines are glucose chains). Glycogen is also stored in skeletal muscle, red and white blood cells, in glial brain cells and kidneys but in a smaller amounts. It can be found in the placenta in pregnant women where it serves as a nutrient storage for embryo. In an adult, the liver weighs 1,5 kg and glycogen weighs about 120g in such a liver. After a meal, the level of sugar is rising and the insulin is being secreted. Insulin is a tool by which sugar is being delivered to the cells, like a food delivery. During this period, glycogen is being synthesized in the liver out of glucose residues. When the meal is digested, the sugar level is back to normal. When more energy is needed, glycogen from the liver is broken down by glycogen phosphorylase and the new sugar is released into the bloodstream.

1) Well, you need to logically think about which of the pecan trees would be better. Tree 3 may have more clusters but they taste bitter so this is out of the option. So Tree 4 and Tree 1 would be best because they both have rich and buttery tastes and they both have a lot of clusters.
2) Not quite sure about this one, sorry :(
