Answer:

i) Glucose

ii) β(1-4) glycosidic bonds.

iii) Oxygen

Explanation:

Cellulose is an important structural carbohydrate found in plants. It forms a major component of the plant cell wall.

Cellulose is a polysaccharide formed by monomers of glucose.  These glucose monomers are joined together by covalent bonds called β(1-4) glycosidic bonds, which means that the 1st carbon of one glucose is bound to the 4th carbon of the next glucose. To make this arrangement,  every other glucose molecule in cellulose is inverted, which you can see in the diagram.

Glucose monomers contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen only. If you look at the pattern of the molecule (remembering every second glucose is inverted), you can see that Z must be O.

The functional group denoted by Z is oxygen. The OH groups on the glucose from one cellulose chain form hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms on the same or on another chain, holding the chains firmly together and forming very strong molecules - giving cellulose its strength.

In sickle-cell disease, as a result of a single amino acid change, the mutant hemoglobin tetramers associate with each other and
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The correct answer is - altered primary and quaternary structure; secondary and  tertiary structure may or may not be altered.

Explanation:

a) Primary structure: It is fundamentally the amino acid sequence or arrangments. Every protein has a remarkable amino acid sequence and little change in these sequence modifies the primary structure. On account of sickle cell, the amino corrosive has changed, and henceforth the essential structure of the protein molecule changes.  

b). secondary structure: It is the folding of the primary structure chain, which results from intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen holding of the amide group. Ex; Alpha helix and beta sheets. In the above case, this may or might not have changed as there is no conclusive method to know this.  

c) Tertiary structure: Most proteins' tertiary structures are mixes of a-helices, b sheets, and circles and turns. Every protein has interesting three-dimensional structure, folded in a particular way now and then known as a domain. For our situation, since it depends on the optional structure, it might have changed.

d) Quaternary structure: It is the relationship of numerous individual protein chains into a solitary protein with various subunits. The subunits arrangment offers to ascend to a steady structure. For our situation, a hemoglobin tetramers partner with one another and gather into large fibers. This has changed the first structure and accordingly we state the quaternary structure has changed.

Compare the population growth rate in industrially developed countries to that in developing countries
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The worlds developing regions will see 1.2 billion people added, a 20.7% increase; while the population of developed countries will increase a mere 3.3% adding 41 million to the current 1.3 billion people. ... There is a difference of more than ten years between the median age in developing and developed regions.

What is the master switch that determines whether an individual develops as a male?
Inessa05 [86]
<span>In human beings the "master switch" that determines whether an individual will become a male is the SRY gene, which is found on the Y chromosome. The sex-determining region Y protein produced from this gene acts as a transcription factor, meaning it attaches to specific regions of DNA and helps control the activity of particular genes.</span>
