Answer:

Well, on one hand, this is a good thing as negative effects of the high demand for wood such as deforestation can be minimised. This will also sustain the supply of wood for several applications. However, there could be negative consequences of propagating such genetically-modified trees, which were not stated or are not yet known. For instance, the trees could be extreme soil nutrient consumers—depleting soil nutrients at a faster rate than they can be replenished and rendering such soil infertile in a short period.

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.
