Answer: A branched polymer has greater terminal glucose residues in comparison to a unbranched polymer of the same molecular weight resulting in a higher number of terminal glucose residues required to be mobilized when energy is demanded. Enzyme and polymer evolve together to meet the dire need for rapid mobilization.

Explanation:

In comparison to an unbranched polymer, a branched polymer has a more compact and symmetrical molecular conformation with a greater terminal glucose residue. It can be broken down easily when energy is needed. For instance, the branched form of starch, amylopetin, in the small intestine starch is hydrolyzed to form glucose which is converted to biochemical energy and stored for later use.

State one adaptation of nephron in the kidney of a desert mammal​
lidiya [134]

Answer: The desert animals do not get appreciable amount of water quantity to survive on daily basis instead their body mechanism tries to conserve water by concentrating urine.

Explanation:

The desert mammal like kangaroo rat produces hyper concentrated urine so as to conserve water. It is facilitated by extremely long loop of Henle in their nephron. The long loop of Henle increases the time and space for absorption of water and nutrients from the urine filtrate. Hence, urine so produced is more concentrate and conserve water. Moreover, the kangaroo rat consume their urine to survive in extreme hot desert condition in scarcity of water.
