Polysaccharide formation allows organism to store energy efficiently. The storage form of food in animals is glycogen and in plants it is starch. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides of glucose. Many glucose units are linked together by condensation reaction to form polysaccharide. Compared to having several molecules of glucose in a bulk it is better to store it in the form of condensed bulk i.e polysaccharide. Thus polysaccharides which are formed by condensation reaction i.e by the loss of water molecules are easy to store.
Polysacchrides are: a) stored in the form of condensed bulk
b) they are chemically non-reactive
c) they are osmolytically inactive
Answer:
Parentals: PP (purple) and pp (white)
F1: Pp (purple)
Explanation:
When the two parental plants of differing phenotypes (purple or white flowers) cross, the F1 is 100% purple. This result suggests that the parentals were true breeding (homozygous), with purple flowers being the dominant allele.
When the F1 self pollinates, the F2 shows proportions very similar to 3/4 purple and 1/4 white (401/532 ≅ 3/4 and 131/532 ≅ 1/4). The 3:1 phenotypic ratio is typical of the offspring resulting from a cross between two heterozygous individuals.
The results make sense if the genotypes of the different generations are:
Parentals: PP (purple) X pp (white)
F1: Pp (purple)
F2: 1/4 PP, 2/4 Pp, 1/4 pp
Answer:
through years of evolution as natural selection shaped animal adaptations to Earth's environments.
Explanation:
Over the years, biologists have been able to successfully name more than one (1) million animal species across the world. These species arose through years of evolution as natural selection shaped animal adaptations to Earth's environments.
Natural selection can be defined as a biological process in which species of living organisms having certain traits that enable them to adapt to environmental factors such as predators, competition for food, climate change, sex mates, etc., tend to survive and reproduce, as well as passing on their genes to subsequent generations.
Simply stated, natural selection entails the survival of the fittest. Therefore, the species that are able to adapt to the environment will increase in number while the ones who can't adapt will die and go into extinction.
Answer:
C) medium
Explanation:
medium can be solid, semi-solid or liquid
mediums are designed to grow living cells of plants, animals, humans and microbes
