You assay cell surface oligosaccharides from a blood sample. After determining the composition of the oligosaccharides relative

to a reference monosaccharide, fucose, you conclude the donor is blood type B. What brought you to this conclusion?

Answer:

Here the fucose is linked to galactose by alpha1,2 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

Fucose is a deoxy sugar consist of 6 carbon atoms which means fucose is a hexose sugar.

   Fucose does not contain -OH group at C6 carbon that"s why it is termed as deoxy sugar.

     Fucose can link to both Nactylglucosame by alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkage and to galactose by alpha-1, glycosidic linkage  generates the H antigen.

   As donor is blood type B that means fucose is linked to galactoseof H antigen by alpha 1,2glycisidic linkage.

Where are your blood cells made
Alexeev081 [22]

Red blood cells. Red blood cells (also known as erythrocytes) are cells in the blood that carry oxygen to all parts of the body. They are made in the spongy marrow inside the large bones of the body. Bone marrow constantly makes new red blood cells to replace old ones.



. In vertebrates, it is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water, and contains proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide, and blood cells themselves. Albumin is the main protein in plasma, and it functions to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. The blood cells are mainly red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein, which facilitates oxygen transport by reversibly binding to this respiratory gas and greatly increasing its solubility in blood. In contrast, carbon dioxide is mostly transported extracellularly as bicarbonate ion transported in plasma.

What is the complex and non-linear process of energy flow between species known as? The complex and non-linear process of energy
Natalka [10]

Answer:Ecosystem Energy  

Nearly all of the energy that drives ecosystems ultimately comes from the sun. Solar energy, which is an abiotic factor, by the way, enters the ecosystem through the process of photosynthesis

The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow.

What is free nitrogen?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen thet cannot be used by organisms. C.

Explanation:

Free nitrogen is simply molecular nitrogen (N2). Nitrogen, in its molecular form, consists of two nitrogen atoms bound together with a tripple bond. Because it is very stable, N2 is typically nonreactive, and takes a lot of energy to break them apart. Among these are the amino acids necessary for life to begin and which are the building blocks DNA is made from. Basically, any nitrogen that is in an organic compound is considered “fixed” nitrogen and N2 is considered to be “free” nitrogen
