Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural biopolymers. The cell walls of plants are mostly made of cellulose, which provides structural support to the cell. Wood and paper are mostly cellulosic in nature. Cellulose is made up of glucose monomers that are linked by bonds between particular carbon atoms in the glucose molecule.
Every other glucose monomer in cellulose is flipped over and packed tightly as extended long chains. This gives cellulose its rigidity and high tensile strength—which is so important to plant cells. Cellulose passing through our digestive system is called dietary fiber. While the glucose-glucose bonds in cellulose cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes, herbivores such as cows, buffalos, and horses are able to digest grass that is rich in cellulose and use it as a food source. In these animals, certain species of bacteria reside in the rumen (part of the digestive system of herbivores) and secrete the enzyme cellulase. The appendix also contains bacteria that break down cellulose, giving it an important role in the digestive systems of ruminants. Cellulases can break down cellulose into glucose monomers that can be used as an energy source by the animal.
Answer:
Amino acids are the building blocks of life and are encoded by DNA. Enzymes and structural proteins are made of amino acids, and are used as precursors for other important biomolecules in the body. In addition, many different industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to the food industry rely on amino acids.
Homozygous dominant allele is RR
The correct macthing of the organs with their organ systems is as follows.
1. Digestive system - intestines.
2. Central nervous system - brain.
3. Respiratory system - tracheal system.
4. Excretory system - bladder.
Digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal consisting of the digestive organs and the glands. Among the digestive organs, the intestines play a major role in the process of digestion. The small intestine is the site of complete digestion which is associated with the pancreas and liver. The large intestine is involved the absorption of water from the digested food and remaining waste material is stored and thrown out of the body during defecation.
The central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain makes the largest part and the functional of the central nervous system. It controls most of the activities of the body. It is made up of three parts called the cerebrum, cerebellum and medualla oblongata and is protected by the skull.
The respiratory system is divided into the upper respiratory tract consisting of the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract consisting of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli. The trachea or the wind pipe is a cylindrical tube infront of the oesophagus, supported by 16-20 C-shaped hyaline cartilage. It serves as a passage for air to move in and out of the lungs.
The excretory system is made up of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, an urinary bladder and an urethra. The urine produced by the kidney flows through the ureters and is collected in the urinary bladder. A spinchter (a ring of muscle) guards the opening of the bladder into the urethra and relaxes only at the time of urination under the impulse from the brain.
Is called the cotton Boll. Hope this helps:)
