Oligosaccharides are complex carbohydrates that have 3 to 10 simple sugar units and cannot be broken down by the body's digestive enzymes. They are complex carbohydrates.

<h3>Oligosaccharides, complex carbohydrates and enzymes</h3>

Oligosaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of three or more monosaccharides (e.g., glucose and fructose) or the union of two or more disaccharides (e.g., lactose).

Humans cannot digest these oligosaccharides because we don't have digestive enzymes such as ⍺-galactosidase, thereby they cannot be hydrolyzed.

Complex carbohydrates are in turn long chains (either branched or unbranched) of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds.

A well-known example of complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) is starch, which is composed of many subunits of glucose.

Enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates must have the ability to break glycosidic bonds.

Sedaia [141]

Answer: Here are three reasons if they don't help just tell me.

1. Changes in water temperature can affect the environments where fish, shellfish, and other marine species live. As climate change causes the oceans to become warmer year-round, populations of some species may adapt by shifting toward cooler areas. Oceans are becoming more acidic. 2.  Oceans are becoming more acidic. The acidity of seawater is increasing as a direct result of increasing carbon dioxide levels in the air from human activities, like burning fossil fuels. Concentrations of carbon dioxide are higher than in the last 800,000 years. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water, changing seawater chemistry and decreasing pH (making seawater more acidic). The ocean’s increased acidity results in thinner shells and more shellfish die as they become easier for predators to eat. 3.  More severe storms and precipitation can pollute coastal waters. Warmer oceans increase the amount of water that evaporates into the air. When more moisture-laden air moves over land or converges into a storm system, it can produce more intense precipitation—for example, heavier rainstorms. Heavy rain in coastal areas can lead to increases in runoff and flooding, impairing water quality as pollutants on land wash into water bodies. Some coastal areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay, are already experiencing “dead zones” – areas where water is depleted of oxygen because of pollution from agricultural fertilizers, delivered by runoff. The phrase “dead zone” comes from the lack of life – including fish – in these waters.

What effect did pollution have in the population in the Chesapeake Bay estuary
goldfiish [28.3K]

Airborne nitrogen is one of the largest sources of pollution affecting the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Excess nitrogen can fuel the growth of algae blooms, which can block sunlight from reaching underwater grasses and create low-oxygen “dead zones” that suffocate marine life.
