The monosaccharide glucose is stored as glycogen in humans and other vertebrates. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose, and it is us

ually stored in liver and muscle cells as an energy source. Whenever a human body needs energy, glycogen is broken down via hydrolysis to release glucose that cells can absorb through their cell membranes.
Which argument is supported by these facts occurring in humans and other vertebrates?


A)Glucose’s small size allows it to be transported through cell membranes, which demonstrates that its size is related to its function.


B) Glucose is soluble in water which allows it to be transported through cell membranes, which demonstrate that its solubility is related to its function.


C) Glucose is an energy source because of its large proportion of carbon atoms, which demonstrates that its composition is related to its function.


D) Glucose is quickly broken down by liver and muscle cells to provide energy, which demonstrates that its type of chemical bonds is related to its function.

How does an r group determine if an amino acid is acidic basic or nonpolar?
Alinara [238K]
<span>R group (or side chain) is an organic component of amino acids that is unique to each amino acid. </span> <span>Three of the amino acids have basic side chains at neutral pH: arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), and histidine (His). Their side chains contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base and their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, (positive charge). Aspartic acid or aspartate (Asp) and glutamic acid or glutamate (Glu) are acidic amino acids because their side chains have carboxylic acid groups whose pKa's are low enough to lose protons, (negatively charged). The non-polar amino acids contain uncharged functional groups<span> at physiological pH and are incapable of participating in hydrogen bonding. </span></span>

It seems plausible that planets and moons with liquid water could support microbial life, even though CO2 is the only available
Rudiy27

Answer:

The metabolic capacities should be:

Bacteria that fulfill replicative cycles, have a metabolization that requires a substrate or a metabolite, coexist in extreme environments where their method of survival is sporulation.

Ability to admit genetic mutations between different bacterial colonies for their possible evolution, an ideal environment with pH, gases, and substrates according to the life of the bacterial colony, which is often called as a culture medium.

Explanation:

Temperature is essential in bacterial growth, as is the pressure and environment that surrounds the bacteria.

Something that must be taken into account is that other microorganisms coexist with the bacteria in the medium, since they can be limited to their colonization, an example of this is the gram negative and positive bacteria, coccoid and bacilloid, which generally are not compatible with the penicillium fungus, as this, as a product of its metabolization, releases a substance called penicillin that prevents the colonizing growth of other species of microorganisms such as this type of bacteria.

at short focusing distances, ciliary muscles contract. what effect do these contractions have on the suspensory ligaments?
True [87]

At short focusing distances, ciliary muscles contract causing the suspensory ligaments to tighten.

The ciliary muscle is an integral muscle of the eye that is constructed as a ring of smooth muscle in the middle layer of the eye, the uvea (vascular layer). It regulates the passage of aqueous humor into Schlemm's canal and governs accommodation for observing objects at different distances.

A suspensory ligament is a ligament that provides support to a body part, particularly an organ. The suspensory ligament protects the fetlock from hyperextension (i.e., falling too low) during exercise. The ligament begins in both the fore and hindlimbs at its connection to the back of the upper cannon bone.

When the ciliary muscle relaxes, its diameter increases; when the suspensory ligaments tighten, the lens becomes thinner. This occurs when concentrating on a celestial object. When the ciliary muscle contracts, the lens becomes much more circular and has more focusing power because the pressure on the zonular fibers is reduced. When the ciliary muscles relax, these fibers contract, pulling the lens out and creating a flatter shape with less focusing power

human space exploration is expensive and dangerous. explain why NASA should or should not continue doing it
attashe74 [19]

Answer: It is lethal without an appropriate explanation. The lack of oxygen and high pressures are a huge risk, also the temperature and radiation.
