(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The advantages of storage polysaccharide for having a branched chain structure over the liner chain.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrading exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The metabolic complications in the degradation of glycogen and the handling of this by a cell.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrade exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The cause of endolytic as well as exolytic cleavage of glycosidic bonds by the enzymes contained by the cells which degrade amylase instead of amylopectin.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrade exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The absence of branches in the structure of polysaccharide of cellulose.

Introduction: In storage polysaccharides, the common examples of branched-chain polymers in cells are amylopectin and glycogen. Each one of them is degrade exolytically (external) by degradation of the end units of glucose.

Reposting - What would the tertiary structure of the dipeptide Asp-Ser be if it was made into a polypeptide chain? (Would it form a beta pleated sheet, an alpha helix, etc) Why would it do this? What properties of this polypeptide causes this? This sub part still needs to be solved - What would the tertiary structure of Pro-ala and Glycl-L-alanine be?
