Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is made up of a dense network of trees, shrubs and vegetation.

This zone on earth is the most biodiverse on the earth surface. It receives the highest insolation of all places on earth and so radiant energy here is very high.

Due to this, the net productivity is very high.
This implies that a wide range of food is available to support the diverse organisms.
Also, the wet and dry seasons provides a very conducive weather for most organisms to survive.

Tundra and deserts have low precipitation and the conditions are very harsh.

Identify the enzymes that are required for the synthesis of a glycogen particle starting from glucose 6‑phosphate. A. branching

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option A and C and D

Explanation:

Gylcogen is synthesized through a series of reactions through the assistance of enzymes. When glucose enter into the cell, it is converted into glucose 6-phosphate and then into glucose 1-phosphate and finally into uridine 5ʹ-diphosphate-glucose. In glycogenesis, glycogen is broken down into glucose 1-phosphate with the help of two glycogen phosphorylase. In the next stage the glycogen debranching enzyme untangles the branch points.

Hence, option A and C and D are correct
