Answer:

Energy flows in a one-way direction i.e. unidirectional flow

Explanation:

Matter and energy both pass through an ecosystem as organisms feed on one another. However, as rightly emphasized in this question, matter in form of elements such as water, nitrogen, phosphorus etc. moves in different directions and is recycled within and between ecosystems through closed loops called biogeochemical cycles.

Contrarily to how matter is recycled in an ecosystem i.e. within and between, ENERGY only flows in one direction. Energy enters an ecosystem in form of light (sun) and is passed down from one trophic level to another starting from the producers. This unidirectional pattern of energy flow differentiates energy flow from matter recycling.

Answer:

<h3>Oesophagus</h3>

Explanation:

  • The oesophagus is the region of the alimentary canal where the food passes without the absorption of nutrients. In oesophagus, we find peristaltic movement which is basically rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the oesophagus in order to facilitate the easy passage for the food to pass from mouth to stomach.
  • The oesophagus is a muscular tube which measures about 8 inches long.
  • Mucosal lining lines the oesophagus.

Vlad [161]

<span><span> (I) Glucose; is C
(II) Starch; A
(III) Sucrose</span> B

A) Polysaccharides
B) Disaccharides
C) Monosaccharides

</span><span><span>Monosaccharide, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are the three major categories of molecules in Carbohydrates. </span>

Monosaccharides, known as simple sugar, is the simplest form of carbohydrates. Its basic molecular formula is CH2O. Monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Its primary function is to be the source of energy of living organisms. It is also the primary requirement for the formation of disaccharides and polysaccharides.

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are bonded together through a covalent bond. Common Dissaccharides are sucrose  (glucose+fructose) or table sugar, maltose (glucose+glucose), and lactose (glucose+galactose). Its primary function is to provide nutrition for monosaccharides. Sugar in food is mostly dissaccharides.

<span>Polysaccharides are formed when another monosaccharides is bonded to the disaccharides. This bond is called glycosidic bond. Two major polysaccharides are starch and glycogen. Starch is made by plants while glycogen is made by animals. Polysaccharides' major function is to immediately release energy from its storage. When glucose is consumed, some of them are stored and will only be released when the body needs it to satisfy the body's immediate need of energy.</span> </span>
