Polysaccharide formation allows organism to store energy efficiently. The storage form of food in animals is glycogen and in plants it is starch. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides of glucose. Many glucose units are linked together by condensation reaction to form polysaccharide. Compared to having several molecules of glucose in a bulk it is better to store it in the form of condensed bulk i.e polysaccharide. Thus polysaccharides which are formed by condensation reaction i.e by the loss of water molecules are easy to store.
Polysacchrides are: a) stored in the form of condensed bulk
b) they are chemically non-reactive
c) they are osmolytically inactive
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.
Number 11 is A and I’m pretty sure number 10 is B if not B then it’s D but I’m pretty sure it’s B
