Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide formed by units of glucose and is sometimes referred to as animal starch. It can reach up to a molecular weight of 10 to the power 8 DA which corresponds to about 600,000 glucose molecules.
The function of glycogen is that it is the principal form in which glucose is stored in animals and is present in the liver, muscle (skeletal and heart muscle) and in lower amounts in nearly all the other tissues and organs.
Glycogen makes up about 10% of liver weight and 1% of muscle weight. Although it is present in higher a concentration in the liver, the total amount stored in muscles is much higher due the greater mass of the muscles as compared to the liver.
Because a food chain is based on one certain thing in the ecosystem ....if the entire ecosystem was in it it would be a food web which is food chains from an ecosystem linked together
Hope that helps
The population of their prey most likely increased causing an imbalance in the food chain. This is true since there probably was not enough food to feed the rapidly increasing population.
Answer:
D. atomic mass unit
Explanation:
The atomic mass unit is used for measuring atomic mass.
Explanation:
Common to genetic drift, the founder principle, and the bottleneck effect:
b. in small populations and result in a decrease in genetic diversity and/or an increase in the occurrence of specific genetic traits
c. when a small group of organisms only reproduce with each other to create a larger population of organisms
d. when the majority of a population is killed off and there are only a few remaining organisms left to rebuild the population
Further Explanation:
During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise, called mutations. These are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes.
These mutations form variants which become stable within a population, leading to the formation of separate, genetically distinct populations called species.
- mutations accumulate in a population over time, altering the frequency of alleles or different forms of a gene- this is called genetic drift.
- In the founder effect, the separation of a group from a larger group can decrease genetic diversity, this can create a genetically distinct population
- In the bottleneck effect, a population die off or barrier to reproduction increases the genetic drift in the population
