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.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

from the intermembrane space to the matrix

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain (ETC), electrons flow from one protein complex to another. However, as this electrons are transfered, protons (H+) is built up from the intermembrane space of the mitochondria to the mitochondrial matrix.

Hence, according to this question, a proton gradient is formed when hydrogen ions (H+) are moving from the intermembrane space to the matrix of the mitochondrial.

Which step in the PCR program would you have to change if your fragment would have been 10 times longer and how?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

increasing extension time

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories to amplify target DNA regions. The standard steps of a PCR are as follow 1-denaturation, 2-annealing and 3-elongation/extension. These steps are repeated 15-40 times in order to exponentially amplify the linear DNA fragment. It is well known that longer extension times can be used as a strategy to increase the yield of longer PCR products. This is because the extension time depends on the synthesis rate of the DNA polymerase used in PCR technique and the length of the DNA fragment to be amplified.

What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? How do Rosa's body systems work
IgorC [24]

The missing part of the question is as follows:

Rosa eats a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Peanut butter contains a lot of protein, and bread is mostly starch. Rosa plans to go for a run later this afternoon. Rosa is breathing normally.

Answer:

1. The food she ate is peanut butter and bread, the peanut is rich in protein while the bread is rich in carbohydrate which provides sugar (glucose) by breathing she gets oxygen in a sufficient amount to perform cellular respiration (aerobic) to carry out energy for running. Carbohydrates are a better choice of nutrients befors exercise as carbohydrates provide energy immediately.

Aerobic respiration provides a high amount of energy, 36 ATP to be specific, per cycle of cellular respiration.

2.  The carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen she gets from food and breathing react together to perform aerobic cellular respiration to carry out maximum energy. By the digestive system and organs of this system, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is diffused into the blood.

Oxygen also diffused to blood from the lungs and heart with the help of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of her body.

3. By the aerobic cellular respiration process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell helps in providing energy from glucose and oxygen by a three-step process:

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. Which ultimately provide 36 ATP molecules for the cell in a run.

Which of these viruses is responsible for causing shingles?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Option C, varicella-zoster virus

Explanation:

The synonym for varicella-zoster virus is VZV and it is responsible for causing chicken pox in primary infection and shingles after the reactivation of latent VZV infection

It is a DNA virus that belong to the group of  herpesvirus. All herpesviruses have the capability to persists in the body after primary infection as latent infection. These viruses survive for a short duration in the environment.

Hence, option C is correct.

The cell cycle includes four phases-- G1, S1, G2, and M. What occurs during the S phase?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome.
