Polysaccharides like Cellulose form insoluble micro-fibrils making it resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.
<u>EXPLANATION: </u>
- Polysaccharides components in general broken down monosaccharides and they are very little enough to be absorbed by the body.
- But the polysaccharide like cellulose cannot be absorbed by our body.
- Cellulose is made up of simple polymers that form insoluble micro-fibrils results in resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.
- Also, molecules of each micro-fibril are so tightly packed structure and prevent the penetration of enzymes.
- Thus, cellulose degradation requires a complex enzyme and cellulose.
When we talk about evolution we come across the process of natural selection. Genetic variation is always required for the natural selection. A change or variation in the genes may help the individuals in a population to better adapt to the environment. Such changes may be brought by mutations or random mating in the population. Such variations help in the survival of the population by allowing them to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
