Question

Cellulose is a carbohydrate with an alternating pattern of glucose molecules. How would plants be affected if cellulose did not have this alternating pattern?

Plant would not be able to store energy.

Plants would lack the ability to reproduce.

Plants would lack stability and strength.

Plants would not be able to produce chlorophyll.

Answer 1

@AravindG
Help

Answer 2

Cellulose is used to store energy if I remember right. So absence will make the plant unable to store energy.

Answer 3

Thank you so much can you help me with two more

Answer 4

I can try.

Answer 5

A swimmer sprints a short distance for a competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed for the sprint. Which of the following processes in most likely going to occur in the swimmers muscle cells during the competition?

Aerobic respiration would continue until oxygen is no longer available, leading to cell death.

Aerobic respiration will continue to make the same amount of ATP since oxygen is not required.

Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

Anaerobic respiration will produce more ATP than the process used in the presence of oxygen.

Answer 6

Post them separately. By the way these questions should go in "Biology" group.

Answer 7

For the cellulose question, it would be 'the plant would lack stability and strength'. Cellulose is an important constituent of the plant cell wall - altering the structure of the cellulose chains would affect the H-bonds between individual cellulose fibrils which would in turn affect the integrity of the cell wall.

And for your 2nd question, the answer is 'Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen'.

Finally, as @AravindG has mentioned, please post these questions in the Biology group. Thanks.

Answer 8

Oh yeah right. I confused starch and cellulose. Thanks for pointing out @shiraz14
