Rainforest cover only 2 % of the total surface area of the Earth but in spite of that about 50 % of plants and animals that live on the Earth live there.

By definition rainforests are forests that recieve high amounts of rainfall so you can actually find rainforests in Alaska for example (other examples: Canada, Asia, Africa, Latin and South-America)

About 1/4 of natural medicines are found in rainforests. 70 % or more of the plants that are used to treat cancer are found only in tropical rainforest on the planet.

Trees in tropical rainforests are so dense that it takes approximately 10 min for the rainfall to reach the ground from canopy.

Harman [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The proteins are the macromolecules composed of the amino acids. The amino acids are joined together by a bond called the peptide bond.

The proteins are formed by the translation process which translates the mRNA into the amino acids and when these amino acids bond they form a linear structure of the proteins.

The linear arrangement of amino acids is known as the primary structure of the protein as this linear structure undergoes further structural conformations.

Thus, true is correct.
