Answer: 19 water molecules

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as the process by which monomers gets attached to one another to form a polymer. Example: ethene polymerize to form polyethylene.

Polymerization of 20 monomers of cellulose molecules releases 19 molecules of water.

Polymer bond is formed when -OH  group from the first monomers is attached to the H molecules of the second monomers.

For, 20 monomers there will be 19 water molecules released.

Which of the following statements about levels of biodiversity is correct?A. Genetic biodiversity is a measure of the total numb
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

D. A population with high genetic biodiversity is better able to respond to environmental stressors.

Explanation:

The genetic biodiversity of a species is the diversity of alleles that it possesses in its genetic pool. For a given gene, a population can have one or more alleles; and the more alleles the population has, it will be more diverse. Under normal conditions (without stress), the alleles that are present in high frequency in a population,  are those that best respond to the environment where the population occurs. However, if some environmental condition changes and some type of environmental stress emerge (ie drought), it is possible that these alleles no longer respond equally effectively and then, it is possible that the  alleles that on normal conditions occur with low frequency, are more adequate to face the stress. A population with fewer alleles (less genetic diversity) has terefore fewer options to deal with environmental stressors and<u> a population with high genetic biodiversity</u> will do this better.

Which of the following best describes the function of the sympathetic nervous system?
DiKsa [7]

Answer;

B. It arouses the body and expends energy.

Explanation;

-The autonomic nervous system controls the insides of the body: the viscera or gut. It carries information about the inside of the body to the CNS and controls the action of internal organs. The autonomic nervous system has two divisions: the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.

-The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and is often referred to as the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions.
