Starch molecules are too large to diffuse into cells. Give me brainliest please!

Starch can't be used by the organism the way it is, because cells aren't able to do anything with it.

If you break it into glucose though, it becomes usable.


Hope it helped,

Sarah recently learned that O2 is found in the Earth’s water bodies. She was amazed to know the proportion of O2 found in the oc
Mamont248 [21]

It has been found that the rainforests are accountable for about one-third, that is, 28 percent of the oxygen of the Earth, however, the majority of the oxygen, that is, about 70 percent in the atmosphere is generated by the marine plants. The left-over two percent of the oxygen comes from other sources.  

The majority of the oxygen comes from the tiny plants in the ocean known as phytoplankton, which lives near the surface of the water and drifts with the currents. Similarly to plants, they perform the process of photosynthesis, that is, they utilize carbon dioxide and sunlight to prepare food, oxygen is the by-product of photosynthesis.  

However, the concentration of the dissolved oxygen, which the water can hold relies on the salinity and temperature of the water. The cold water can withhold more oxygen in comparison to warm water and fresh water can hold more oxygen in comparison to salt water. So, the warmer and saltier the water is, the less will be the oxygen dissolved in it.

Answer:

The presence of an additional chromosome

Explanation:

Look at "pair" 21. See how there are THREE chromosomes instead of TWO? Normally, there would only be two chromosomes in each pair but this karyotype shows a trisomy (see def. below) of the 21st pair. This was caused by a nondisjunction mutation of the 21st pair. The is also the karyotype of a person with Down's Syndrome.

Definition of Trisomy:

A condition of the presence of three chromosomes in a pair instead of two. This normally causes developmental irregularity.

Why are the colors different on the planet at different times of the year ? Give a specific example.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

In the Northern Hemisphere, ecosystems wake up in the spring, taking in carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen as they sprout leaves — and a fleet of Earth-observing satellites tracks the spread of the newly green vegetation.

Meanwhile, in the oceans, microscopic plants drift through the sunlit surface waters and bloom into billions of carbon dioxide-absorbing organisms — and light-detecting instruments on satellites map the swirls of their color.

Satellites have measured the Arctic getting greener, as shrubs expand their range and thrive in warmer temperatures. Observations from space help determine agricultural production globally, and are used in famine early warning detection. As ocean waters warm, satellites have detected a shift in phytoplankton populations across the planet's five great ocean basins — the expansion of "biological deserts" where little life thrives. And as concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continue to rise and warm the climate, NASA's global understanding of plant life will play a critical role in monitoring carbon as it moves through the Earth system.
