Why are highly branched gills more efficient than gills that are not branched?
because there is less oxygen in water meaning they have to be more efficient to get enough oxygen
Which is more efficient lungs or gills?
Gills are more efficient at obtaining oxygen, but there is much more oxygen in air to breath through the lungs.
Amphibian lungs don't have to be as efficient as gills because?
Amphibian lungs do not have to be as efficient as gills because there is much more oxygen in air than in water.
Why is glycogen branched?
Glycogen is branched to allow more efficient energy storage and to provide multiple attachment points for enzymes that add to its glucose monomers.
Why do crayfish gills have a large surface area?
The gills are feathery so it has more surface area, allowing more gas exchange! By gas exchange u mean to take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide, right?
Amylopectin has what characteristics?
Amylopectin is a branched-chain polymer of glucose that is a component of starch, characterized by frequent branching points that create a highly branched structure. It can be broken down into glucose units for energy more quickly than amylose due to its branched structure. Amylopectin is less prone to retrogradation compared to amylose, making it more suitable for applications where a gel-like consistency is desired.
What is better solar energy or hydropower?
depends on how you look at it solar energy is more highly developed but hydro electric is more efficient when it is used
The feathery nature of the gills gives the crayfish a very large surface area why is this important?
To acquire more oxygen from water as the large SA of the gills allow more water to pass through and thus more O2 from the water to transfer into the gill-bearing creature's bloodstream for respiration
Why don't people have eight legs and arms?
It is not in our genetic code to have eight legs and arms. It would be very useless to have eight legs and arms, as two legs and arms is highly efficient, and more is not necessary to make the human more efficient.
Do more fish have lungs then gills?
Fishes having gills are more. Also some fishes have lungs.
What is the comparative for efficient?
More efficient and most efficient are the comparative and superlative forms of "efficient".
Which has more crystalline branched or linear polyethylene?
The cystalline branched polyethylene has got a complex structure than a linear polyethylene.
