These fuels are nonrenewable because they are limited substances which cannot be produced at the same rate at which it is used. Also, they cannot be REused, hence the wording non-REnewable. Hope this answers your question.

They are fossil fuels. Fossil fuels take millions of years to produce since they are the remains of decayed organisms that have decomposed under extreme pressures and temperatures to become a part of the earth's crust. Since we burn fossil fuels (ie gas, oil, coal) and they are used up quickly we use more than we produce therefore eventually if we carry on at the same rate we will run out of this resource. Therefore they are non-renewable.

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

All four types of polysaccharides are homopolymers ie they are made up of repeating units of only one type of monomers.

Starch, glycogen and cellulose are made up of repeating monomeric units of glucose with the number of glucose units and the different linkage types different these molecules. E.g the linkage between glucose units in glycogen is alpha 1-4 linkages and in cellulose, we have glucose in beta 1-4 linkages.

In chitin, a derivative of glucose is present in repeating units, here, we have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages.

How respiration and photosynthesis are important to one another?

erik [133]

Answer: without photosynthesis, there would not be any glucose or oxygen and those are what start off the respiration reaction. without respiration plants would use up all CO2 and starve to death. photosynthesis requires the products from respiration and vise-versa.
