Biology

Answer:

<u>Starch</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Cellulose </u>is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Glycogen</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.

Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.

The state of health and functioning of the liver is often assessed with dye-tracer techniques. The dye used most frequently is b
elena-s [515]

Answer

1.Radioactive or chemical decay

2. X(t) = Xoe^-kt

lnY(t) = -t + lnYo

4. 6.07mg

Explanation:

Let the liver and and blood compartment be represented by the symbol L and B respectively

For the liver

Suppose a first Order removal process started with an amount X, in which amount b disappeared in time t, the process is decay process which can be represented as follows,

∫dX/dt = -K1X

By rearrangement and integration;

∫dX/X = -K1t

ln X = -K1t + C

Since At t= 0, X = Xo then

C = lnXo

The equation becomes:

lnX = -K1t + lnXo

lnX - lnXo = -K1t

ln(X/Xo) = -K1t

X/Xo = e^-kt

X(t) = Xoe^-kt

X(t) = Xoe^-0.5t........(2)

Similarly for B (blood), suppose a first order flow flow of the dye move from the blood to the liver, let Y be the initial concentration, and amount b that has flown to the liver in time t

B---------> B(t)

t=0 Yo 0

t=t. Y-b. b

dY/dt = -K12(Y-b)...........(3)

Let Y-b = Y(t)

∫dY/dt = -∫K12t

By rearrangement and integration;

∫dy/Y(t) = ∫-K12dt

lnY(t) = -K12t + C1

at t= 0, C1 = ln(Yo)

Therefore ln Y(t) = -K12t + lnYo

But K12 =1

ln Y(t) = -t + lnYo.............(4)

(3) The assumptions used here

is that of a decay for the liver . The amount remaining taking as the amount of a substance

(4) using the equation 2,

X(t)= Xo e^-K1t........(2)

For time t = 1hour, and an initial amount X = 10mg, K = 0.5

X(t) = 10× e^-0.5

X(t) = 10 × 0.607

X(t) = 6.07mg

(5) within the scope of information presented, I have no data to make this judgment.

The function of the liver in humans is to maintain the [glucose] circulating in the blood stream at reasonably constant levels.
Archy [21]

Answer:

Due to difference in function.

Explanation:

Glucokinase in liver behave differently than the hexokinase in other cells because glucokinase performs different function in the body. Glucokinase is an enzyme that is responsible for sensing the glucose level in the blood and also plays a key role in the storing of glucose as glycogen while on the other hand, this storing ability is absent in hexokinase so that's why the glucokinase in liver behave differently than the hexokinase in other cells.

Scientists follow specific processes in order to determine valid explanations and conclusions from observations. David observed
Galina-37 [17]

The answer is B.

In general, the best way to find scientific answers to questions is to do research. Sometimes, tests aren't always exactly repeatable, and especially not in a scenario like the one given.
