(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The advantages of storage polysaccharide for having a branched chain structure over the liner chain.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrading exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The metabolic complications in the degradation of glycogen and the handling of this by a cell.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrade exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The cause of endolytic as well as exolytic cleavage of glycosidic bonds by the enzymes contained by the cells which degrade amylase instead of amylopectin.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrade exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The absence of branches in the structure of polysaccharide of cellulose.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrade exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

There is a species of eagle, which lives in a tropical forest in Brazil. The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous. How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?
what is this called?
