Consider all the different polysaccharides that exist across species and then select all of the following characteristics that can vary among polysaccharides. a. amount of branching b. types of bonds (glycosidic) between monomers c. types of monosaccharides

The correct answer is b types of glycosidic bond between the monomers.

Explanation:

HomoPolysaccharides differ from each other by the presence of different glycosidic linkage within their chemical structure.

For example

1 Starch contain glucose residues which are linked by alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage.

2 In glycogen molecule the glucose residues are linked together by both alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage and alpha-1,6- glycosidic linkage.

3  In cellulose the glucose monomers are linked together by beta-1,4-glycosidic linkage.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
