Polysaccharides like Cellulose form insoluble micro-fibrils making it resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • Polysaccharides components in general broken down monosaccharides and they are very little enough to be absorbed by the body.
  • But the polysaccharide like cellulose cannot be absorbed by our body.
  • Cellulose is made up of simple polymers that form insoluble micro-fibrils results in resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.
  • Also, molecules of each micro-fibril are so tightly packed structure and prevent the penetration of enzymes.
  • Thus, cellulose degradation requires a complex enzyme and cellulose.

19.   Which of the following statements is correct in regard to apical and floral meristems? 
Butoxors [25]
The correct statement is D. APICAL MERISTEMS ARE SOMETIMES CHANGED INTO FLORAL MERISTEMS.

Apical Meristems are found in the tips of the roots and in the buds of the shoots. They supply cells for the plants to grow in length.

Apical Meristems are found in herbaceous plants, woody plants, grasses, and flowering plants.

In flowering plants, shoot apical meristem develops into an inflorescence meristem which produces the floral meristem. The floral meristem is responsible for the production of the sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels of the flower.

Which of the following will NOT cause mass extinction?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

D. None of the above

Explanation:

<u>Reason that Drastic Change in weather may cause mass extinction</u>

Weather plays an important role in the survivability & the growth/diminish of the population. For example, animals that need large amounts/bodies of water (for example fishes), will not survive when the area is hit with a heat wave & drought, which would cause fishes to surface, and die.

<u>Reason that Geological change would play a large role in mass extinctions</u>

While the Geography is constantly changing, large abrupt changes would cause a upheaval and may upset the population, leading to a depletion of resources or even a sudden destruction of part/all of the population. For example, an earthquake may kill large amounts of animals, and the destruction of the greenery in the area may severely limit the amount of food/decrease the primary consumer's populations, leading to a starvation.
