1- Monosaccharides: Simple sugars, the simplest carbohydrate form. In general, the basic molecular formula is (CH2O)n. Monosaccharide' function: a source of energy for organisms. Examples: Glucose, galactose, and fructose.

2- Disaccharides: consist of two monosaccharides joined together by a covalent bond. This bond is generally between the number 1 carbon of one monosaccharide and the number 4 carbon of the other molecule. Disaccharides' function: a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Examples: sucrose or table sugar, maltose, and lactose.

3- Polysaccharides: composed of thousands of monosaccharides. The addition of new monosaccharides could continue indefinitely making a huge molecule forming a long (and branched via the 6- carbon) chain of glucose molecules. This long chain is known as a polysaccharide. Polysaccharides' function: an easily accessible storage form of glucose. Examples: starch and glycogen.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The sympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems make up the autonomic nervous system, regulating involuntary functions. The first acts in situations of fight or flight, for example in an accident of self-actions such as: increased heart rate, pupil dilation, relaxes airways, among others. Neurotransmitters are released: adrenaline and norepinephrine. The parasympathetic system performs antagonistic functions by activating in relaxation situations: it decreases heart rate, contracts pupils, constricts airways. Acetylcholine is released as a neurotransmitter.
