Answer: 19 water molecules

Explanation:

Polymerization refers to the process where individual monomers link together to form a polymer—for example, ethene polymerizing into polyethylene.

In the case of 20 cellulose monomers joining, 19 water molecules are released.

This occurs because the bond forms between the -OH group of one monomer and the hydrogen atom of another.

Therefore, for 20 monomers, 19 molecules of water are produced.

What similarities and differences do the phytoplankton share with members of kingdom plantae?
11111nata11111 [2571]
Both kingdom plantae and plankton demonstrate similarities, as they both engage in the process of photosynthesis. These organisms offer oxygen and nourishment to other life forms, which in turn provides them with energy for survival. Additionally, both plankton and the members of kingdom plantae require nutrients for their growth and development. In terms of differences, plankton primarily inhabit water surfaces, while members of plantae are present on land and at the water surface. Certain species such as red and brown algae may also reside in deeper sea or ocean waters.

The ara operon is controlled by a regulator protein that exerts ________.
Tresset [2298]

The AraC protein associated with the ara operator functions as a repressor to prevent transcription of the ara operon. In the presence of arabinose, the AraC protein acts as an activator; however, in its absence, it serves as a repressor. When arabinose is not available, AraC remains as a
homodimer. One AraC molecule attaches to the ara initiator while another binds to a distinct regulatory region in the DNA known as the ara operator.
