Which statement best summarizes a key difference in the structure of polysaccharides that function in energy storage versus thos

e used in structural support?
a. Polysaccharides that function in energy storage form straight chains that bond with adjacent chains, whereas polysaccharides used in structural support are built from α glycosidic linkages.
b. Polysaccharides that function in energy storage are built from α glycosidic linkages, whereas polysaccharides used in structural support form straight chains that bond with adjacent chains.
c. Polysaccharides that function in energy storage are built from β glycosidic linkages, whereas polysaccharides used in structural support form straight chains that bond with adjacent chains.
d. Polysaccharides that function in energy storage are built from α glycosidic linkages, whereas polysaccharides used in structural support form helical chains that are highly branched.

Answer:

C-Polysaccharides that function in energy storage are built from α glycosidic linkages, whereas polysaccharides used in structural support form straight chains that bond with adjacent chains.

Explanation:

When  monosaccharides undergo  a dehydration reaction water molecules are released; this process called covalent bonding forms an 1-4 glycosidic linkage. In energy storage polysaccharides, the linkage occurs at Carbon 1 while glucose is in its α- form; in starch, resulting chains are made up of unbranched amylose and branched amylopectin.

However, in structural polysaccharides like cellulose, repeating monomers in the β configuration; the alternating glucose monomers form unbranched β, 1-4 glycosidic linkages. These tend to bunch together, with adjacent chains joined by hydrogen bonds, making the polysaccharide rigid and with high tensile strength.

Which events can cause an ecological disturbance? Select the three correct answers.
kvasek [131]

A, B and C are the events that will cause an ecological disturbance.

Rationale:

A. Introduction of a new species: When a new specie is introduced, it increases the competition in ecosystem with the native species for food, water, space and shelter. This affects the reproductive success of the native species and thus the dynamics of ecosystem.

B. Climate change: Climate change is different from a simple change of weather. The best example would be of Antarctica where the ice is melting fast due to the global warming. The native species find it harder to adapt to the warm temperatures.

C. Late spring snowstorm: Spring is the season where the plants grow and animals shed their fur. When snowstorms occur in this season they harm these plants and animals that live there.

Select all of the following statements that are true concerning virus structure:
elena-s [515]

All the statement above are very true of what virus structure constitute.

This goes to say that viruses:

  • use DNA as their genetic material.
  • have a phospholipid bilayer envelope.
  • lack organelles, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane.
  • have a capsid.
  • require a host for replication.

<h3>What are viruses?</h3>

Viruses are seen and considered as the border line between living and non living things.

  • Viruses are living when they are inside another living organism. They are the smallest known microorganisms.
  • However, they are non-living when they are outside the system of a living thing
