This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was changed into simple sugars

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consist of many glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Starch will change color to an intense "blue-black" colour after the addition of aqueous solutions of the triiodide anion. To do it we can add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour The reaction between amylose that present in lesser amounts and iodine is said to account for the intense color change seen.

An iodine test of a tomato plant leaf revealed that starch was present at 5:00 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in July. When a similar leaf from the same tomato plant was tested with iodine at 6:00 am the next morning, the test indicates that less starch was present in this leaf than in the leaf tested the day before. This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was

  • 1. changed directly into proteins
  • 2. transported out of the leaves through the guard cells
  • 3. transported downward toward the roots through tubes
  • 4. changed into simple sugars

An octopus reproduces only once in its life, but it may have more than 100,000 offspring, depending on the species. Certain spec
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) The success of a species depends on the number of offspring that survive long enough to reproduce.</em>

Explanation:

Some species of animals such as the octopus might give rise to many offspring, but these offspring might not survive due to different reasons. Only a few of them will be able to survive until the age where they can reproduce.

On the other hand, the survival rate of offspring which are formed in lesser numbers is more. These offspring are taken care of by their parents usually or are better adapted to live in the environment. Hence, their survival rate is more.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

According to natural selection theory, organisms need to continuously adapt and evolve within an environment or risk being wiped away from that environment.

Organisms that are not able to adapt to an environment are gradually replaced by those that have the capability to adapt and survive in that environment.

Those that are able to survive go ahead to reproduce and give rise to offspring with inherent ability to survive while those that cannot survive die off.

The correct option is B.

The major difference between starch, glycogen, and cellulose and their adjacent glucose subunits is the ________.
sveta [45]

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.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The term secretion refers to the cell that releases a substance into the extracellular space.

Explanation:

When a cell or organ or gland produce and secretes substance in to extracellular space,this biochemical process is called as secretion.

The secretory products may be hormone, enzymes etc.

This process facilitates the movement of material from one place to another place.

For example, Pituitary gland produce and release prolactin hormone that induces breast cells to produce lactation during sucking process done by baby.

Pituitary gland also secrete different hormones that acts on different glands like adrenal, testes, ovary, thyroid gland etc that in turn produce different hormones like adrenaline,testosterone,estrogen,progesterone, TSH,T3, hormone etc.
