Cellulose is another long polymer of glucose. Plant cells make their cell walls out of cellulose. In fact, 100 billion tons of cellulose is made every year on earth. Cellulose is indigestible in most animals, including us. Ever eat a cardboard box? You get the picture. We simply lack cellulase, the enzyme that can break it down. Some bacteria, some single-celled protists, and fungi have the enzyme. Animals that feed on cellulose harbor these microbes that help them digest it. Even though, we cannot break down this molecule, we do need cellulose in our diet. We call it “fiber”. Cellulose stimulates the colon to produce regular bowel movements and helps make the stools large and soft. A diet rich in fiber can prevent a painful intestinal disorder called diverticulosis. Hard impacted stools can sometimes cause the walls of the colon to form blind outpockets called diverticula which can periodically inflame. So what makes cellulose different from starch? Isn’t it made of glucose? Well it is but the glucose monomers are organized in an interesting fashion. The orientation of the glucose molecules alternates. So if the first one is right side up, the next one is upside down and then the next is right side up and the next one is upside down. Apparently this is a tricky arrangement for an enzyme to break.
The use of electronic instruments or other techniques to monitor and change subconscious activities, many of which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system, is called biofeedback.
<h3>What is biofeedback?</h3>
A mind-body approach known as biofeedback employs a variety of monitoring tools to give the body's physical functions, which are typically controlled by the body's automatic systems, conscious control. There are several kinds of biofeedback instruments that can be used to track the development of the activity and show the efficacy of the therapy as it is being administered.
The equipment that measures the following uses biofeedback the most frequently:
- brain activity
- respiration rate
- blood pressure
- heartbeat frequency and heartbeat variability
- tension in muscles
- electrification of the skin
- skin temperature
Devices used to measure body change are:
- Electromyogram (EMG): To measure muscular tension, use this.
- Electrodermal activity (EDA): This measures variations in perspiration rate.
- Measures of finger pulses: These evaluate heart rate and blood pressure.
- Electroencephalogram (EEG): This is used to assess brain electrical activity.

1) Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide.
Trees are an important part to this planet because they take the carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen. When deforestation occurs, there are less trees to do this, resulting in more carbon dioxide in the air.
Hope this helps!!! Can I get Brainliest? :)
