This is what i found online:
<span>When the surface of a lake or a river freezes, the ice serves as a barrier between the water and the cold air above. The temperature of the water below the ice is kept at a stable level, and it allows the organisms in the water to survive at a sustainable temperature. It also prevents further freezing of the water body and allows the organisms to stay in motion.</span>

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

protected; increase

Explanation:

Ozone is composed of trioxygen which is highly reactive gas compared to dioxygen. Ozone layer is present in stratosphere and troposphere and protect the humans from ultraviolet radiations but it may be toxic if inhaled. Ozone can be broken down into molecular oxygen by chlorine and bromine atoms.

A hole was discovered in ozone layer in 1982 and scientist believed that it could be dangerous for human health. The compounds involved in depletion of ozone are mainly Chlorofluorocarbons (CFS) and (HFCS). Then a global agreement was signed in 1987 which leads to prohibition of use of all chemicals that are involved in depletion of ozone layer. The problem of ozone depletion is solved by the agreement and ozone hole started to recover it from 2000.

But recent reports showed that the alternative chemicals used to protect the depletion of ozone layer began to trap the heat inside the earth like greenhouse effect. Now scientists are in search of chemical that can prevent both ozone depletion as well as global warming.

why do polysaccharides like cellulose and peptidoglycan able to resist degradation and enzymatic activity
mixer [17]

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.
