Polymers have different structures. They also have different functions. Describe how the structures of different polymers relate to their function? Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules‚ known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it’s function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a

a Forest Ecosystem? Forests are important ecosystems that provide environmental and economic benefits. Forest ecosystems are unique environments and are categorized based on the types and ages of trees‚ climate and soil. They impact the environment at scales ranging from local to regional‚ by influencing climate‚ nutrient dynamics and water movement. Forests are found all over the world‚ and they provide valuable economic and environmental services. Information About a Forest Ecosystem A forest

Essential Questions: How do the structures of organisms enable life’s functions? What happens to individuals within an ecosystem when the environment changes? Structures help organisms adapt to give them a better chance of survival. Structures could be many things. When you look at animals today you can see many things that give them advantages to survive in nature. A turtle is a great example because before they probably didn’t have shells or maybe softer shells. Ones with tougher shells are more

Ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited spaces (although
