Two main functions of polysaccharides in living things are:
1. structural components
2. energy storage.
Those polysaccharides that are not easily broken down are used as structural components. Some of them are cellulose in plants and chitin in insects and crustacean.
On the other hand, starch and glycogen are easily broken down, so they serve as energy storage. <span>When energy is needed immediately, they break down to glucose and great amount of energy is released, </span>
Correct answer:
"<span>B- homologous chromosomes join together to form tetrads during prophase I"
</span>It is during prophase I that homologous chromosomes join together (<span>synapsis)</span> and form tetrads - four chromatids are together in the new structure of two chromosomes - and this is the reason why crossing-over occurs in this phase. It is in this tetrad that both arms of both chromosomes may crossover and matching regions exchange places. This process results in homologous chromosomes recombination leading to genetic variability.

Does that answer the question?
Answer:
Sometimes molecules cannot move through the cell membrane on their own. These molecules need special transport proteins to help them move across the membrane. Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of substances with the help of transport proteins in the plasma membrane. These special proteins are called channel proteins or carrier proteins, and they are attached to the cell membrane. In fact, they go through the cell membrane, from the inside of the cell to the outside. Facilitated diffusion is used for molecules that cannot diffuse rapidly through cell membranes on their own, even when the molecules are moving from high to low concentration areas. An example is the sugar plants and animals use for energy, called glucose. Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient so it does not require the use of cellular energy.
