1.When a water molecule is released during polymerisation, it's called a condensation reaction. What this means is that 2 molecules come together, but release water as a by-product. A water molecule needs to be introduced for the polymer to break apart (hydrolysis).

2.When a water molecule is needed during polymerisation, it's something called hydrolysis. What this means is that a when a water molecule is introduced, it causes 2 molecules to join. When the polymer breaks, water is released (condensation reaction).

3.Hydrolysis takes place to join 2 molecules together. When the polymer is broken down, water isn't released as a by-product.
(sorry that I couldn't help much on the last one).

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

<u>The illegal wildlife trade </u>or <u>wildlife trafficking</u> is the commercial process that involves the trade of non-domestic species (animals or plants), or in some cases certain parts of individuals. These species are rare and endangered and thus this practice is harmful and represents an increasing dangers of extinction.

This practice is highly illegal, but unfortunately, at the same time, due to the rarity of the species highly profitable. Efforts are made globally to stop this practice and to avoid the extinction of many endangered species.

Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is C. The cell took in another ancient prokaryotic cell, which began living inside it.

Explanation:

  • The Endosymbiont Theory explains the evolution of membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.
  • According to the theory, mitochondria evolved when an ameoba like organism engulfed bacteria capable of cellular respiration.
  • Similarly, chloroplasts were developed when the ameoba like organism engulfed cyanobacteria or blue-green algae capable of photosynthesis.
  • These organisms survived inside the ameoba over millions of years to develop into mitochondria and chloroplasts.
  • The fact that mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and ribosomes is evidence of the endosymbiont theory.
