Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The polar ice cap melting is an event that takes place at a longer duration, and is usually measured by the end of every decade. This melting of ice caps in the polar region is caused due to the increasing amount of the earth's surface temperature. One of the main reasons is the increasing amount of carbon in the atmosphere for the last few decades.

On, the other hand, there occurs certain changes which take place in a very short time, in terms of hours or days. Some of its examples include the rise in the sea level due to the tidal effect, changing of wind direction and changing of the pressure system from low to high and vice versa.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

A hydrogen bond is the electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bound to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. This is not a sharing of electrons, as in a covalent bond. Instead, this is an attraction between the positive and negative poles of charged atoms.

Explanation:

Starch is a polymer of billions of glucose units joined through a condensation reaction that splits out molecule of water. Starch is an important part of our food belonging to the category of carbohydrates. It is found in cereals and potatoes.

Starch can be in two forms based on the their structure and some other differences:

1) Amylose- straight chain polymer

2)Amylopectin- Branched chain polymer

You can see the structure of starch with glucose monomers for better understanding in the image.

Hope it helps!
