Sequential cleavage from the non-reducing terminals of glucose molecules is required for both glycogen degradation and polysaccharides hydrolysis.
Why non-reducing end is selected for digestion?
A polysaccharide's non-reducing end is the one where an anomeric carbon participates in the glycosidic connection. The elimination of carbohydrate remnants one at a time out from the non-reducing terminal occurs during glycogenolysis and polysaccharides hydrolysis.
- For example, several enzymes are involved in glycogenolysis in the liver and muscle.
- An example of such an enzyme is glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyzes the successive dissociation of the alpha 1->4 glycosidic bond that connects two glucose molecules at a non-reducing terminal of glycogen. The last glucose residue is eliminated as alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate.
That is why non-reducing end of glucose is chosen for digestion or breakdown of the carbohydrate polymer.

Just as stated and also explained, the correct answer is <span>a long chain of adenine nucleotides is added to the 3' end of mRNA during terminationof transcription. That is the only statement that is true about the polyadenylation mechanism. Hope this is helpful</span>
Answer:
Potential energy is gaining all the way to the top of the hill due to the increase of height (gravitational pull) on the skateboarder. At the top of the hill potential energy will reach its highest point. Then going down kinetic energy increases as potential energy decreases.

Peyer's patches (aggregated lymphoid nodules)
Explanation:
Peyer's patches are anatomical regions located under the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, specifically in the lamina propria of the thin intestine. These patches are nodules or cumulus of lymphatic tissue and other accessory cells, and this is why they represent a huge part of the mucosa´s immunity system.
Peyer's patches belong to the group of lymphoid tissue associated with the intestine, composed of lymphoid follicles distributed along the gastrointestinal tract.
A lymphoid follicle is a cumulus or aggregate of lymphoid cells that do not have a well-defined structure nor organization. In general, these follicles are isolated from each other in the intestine. But in the terminal ileum (The last portion of the thin intestine) they get so close that they might form a plaque. The Peyer´s patches are formed principally by lymphocytes B that synthesize immunoglobulin A, which has an important role in immunity.
