Humans store excess polysaccharides in the form of glycogen.

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates. They are generally used to generate energy in the form of ATP for the body's metabolic activities.

Carbohydrates are broken down during respiration to generate energy. Excess carbohydrates are generally converted to glycogen through the actions of an enzyme in the liver.

Glycogens are converted back to simpler carbohydrates when there is inadequate carbohydrate in the body.

Lesson 01.04 Properties of Water
ryzh [129]

Answer:

1= In living organisms cells are composed of water or we can say that water is one of the important constituent of cells.

2= Hydrogen bonding import man properties to the water such as cohesion, high heat of vaporization, high heat capacity etc.

3= Because of high polarity, all polar substance get dissolve and make it universal solvent.

Explanation:

Solvent is the that part of solution which is present in large proportion and have ability to dissolve the solute. In simplest form it is something in which other substance get dissolve. The most widely used solvent is water, other examples are toluene, acetone, ethanol, chloroform etc.

Water is called universal solvent because of high polarity all polar substance are dissolve in it. Hydrogen is less electronegative while oxygen is more electronegative and because of difference in electronegativity hydrogen carry the partial positive charge while oxygen carry partial negative charge.

Hydrogen bond:

The hydrogen bond is the attraction between the toms which already take part in the other chemical bons. The one atom is hydrogen while other may be oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine.

The hydrogen bonding in water import man y properties in it such cohesion, high heat of vaporization, high heat capacity etc. The hydrogen bond hold the water molecules together.

Water create electrostatic interaction with other polar molecules. The negative end of water attract the positive end of polar molecules and positive end of water attract negative end of polar substance and in this way polar substance get dissolve in it.

Example:

when we stir the sodium chloride into water the cation Na⁺ ions are surrounded by the negative end of water i.e oxygen and anion Cl⁻ is surrounded by the positive end of water i.e hydrogen and in this way all salt is get dissolved.

Which of the following is TRUE?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a. Glucagon is released by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans.

Explanation:

When the body is fasting, the pancreas releases glucagon so that your body can produce glucose. Glucagon is a protein hormone made and secreted by alpha cells from pancreatic islets (or islets of Langerhans).

The islets of Langerhans are a special group of cells in the pancreas that produce not only glucagon, but also insulin. These substances act as important regulators of sugar metabolism.

Answer:

The Pacific Ocean (Marine ecosystem) is filled with all types of aquatic animals and crazy things that they have to do to survive. The pacific ocean is home to many species of fish, whales, sharks,  dolphins, starfish, squid and many more. To survive in their environment they need to eat each other before they get the chance to be the ones that get eaten. In other words, they need to be the predators before they get the chance to become someone else's prey.  This will naturally occur in the biome of the pacific ocean with the food webs and animals in this marine ecosystem.

Some of the main features that provide energy and the ability to live for all organisms is the sun, the salt water that the aquatic animals live in, the sand that gives prey a place to hide and disguise, coral reefs provide home for tiny fish, and trash has been a huge part of the animals living style. The trash gets thrown into the ocean and gets wrapped around the sea animals or even gets eaten by them. This could also cause the biotic factors of the pacific ocean to shift the way they eat and endanger their living environments.

Food webs are the simple but also complicated way that animals hunt and feed themselves. One of the main chains that are most common in the pacific ocean is between sharks, tuna fish, shrimp, seaweed, and the sun. In this food chain the sun starts by shining its rays down on the seaweed (Producer) so that the seaweed can absorb the sun's energy during photosynthesis, the seaweed gets eaten by the shrimp (omnivores) who are also some of the decomposers of the pacific ocean. Tuna fish (carnivores)then eat the shrimp to gain more energy to survive, and to end this food web, the tuna fish gets eaten by larger sharks(carnivores). But the predators only get 10% of the energy that could have possibly been theirs. Not just in this single food chain, but in all food webs the animals have to eat as much as they can to gather as much energy as possible. Many living things compete for their food and territory in the pacific ocean biome. Some of the types of interactions that animals have in the pacific ocean is the competition between blue whales for food. The Blue whales' main source of food is a shrimp-like sea creature called krill. To compete for the krill, the size of the whale is always most intimidating. If a huge blue whale and a smaller blue whale were trying to eat a swarm of krill, the smaller whale would back off to avoid problems and let the bigger whale take it. Another example of interactions between animals would be the clown fish and sea anemone. The sea anemone gives the clown fish a home to live in and the clown fish protects the sea anemone from other fish that would try and eat it. The pacific ocean biome has many examples of  mating interactions as well. The aquatic animals mate and reproduce more of its species in the varying temperatures of the pacific ocean. One of the mating relationships that happen in the pacific is between the Giant Pacific Octopus. The male octopus finds a mate and transfers a packet of sperm into the female's mantle. The female then carries around the packet until she can fertilize the eggs. After the female lays her eggs, she stops eating and dies away by the time her eggs hatch. And sometimes the female will eat her mate, or the male will die as well after she gives birth.

In the end, the pacific ocean biome is very large as it contains almost ⅓ of the amount of surface on earth. And since it is so huge, it contains many smaller ecosystems such as kelp forests and coral reefs. It also contains ridges and trenches formed by volcanoes under the earth's surface. It is also the home to the Great Barrier reef off of Australia’s coast.  And there is a large amount of debris and pollution that harms things in the pacific ocean biome. In conclusion  the biome of the Pacific Ocean has many animal relationships and different ways of survival.
