Answer:
Pneumonia may be defined as the medical condition in which the inflammation might occur in the lungs due to which the fluid might accumulate in the lungs. The infection might occur by the Streptococcus penumoniae bacteria.
The most likely diagnosis of this patient can be influenza. The symptoms shown by the patient like cough, fever, headache, lung pain is more common in influenza. The diagnosis can be based on the symptoms shown by the patient and no presence of the Streptococcal infection. This conditions can be worsened if the pneumonia follow the harsh influenza and this secondary infection must be monitored. The treatment that can be preferred in this patient bed rest, anti pyretic medicines and proper body fluids.
Answer:
Cellulose is held by beta 1,4-glycosidic bonds making it linear while Glycogen is held by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it highly branched.
Explanation:
Cellulose and Glycogen are both carbohydrate polysaccharides formed from glucose monomers. According to the question, cellulose is a tough, fibrous, and insoluble (in water) polymer found to play a structural role in plants' cell wall while Glycogen is another polymer obtained from muscle or liver and disperses readily in hot water to make a turbid solution.
Although these two polysaccharides (cellulose and glycogen) are linked by (1, 4)-glycosidic bonds but the glucose monomers in CELLULOSE are linked by a beta 1,4-glycosidic, hence, making it a straight or linear polymer
GLYCOGEN, on the other hand, is linked by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it an highly branched polymer. This structure is responsible for the different physical properties of the two molecules.
