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:
It disappears because it serves no other purposes in any of the next steps
Answer: Endocrine system
Explanation: The integumentary system is that is made up of the skin, hair, nails and the Endocrine glands. The following functions of the integumentary system are:
