Both are biological polymers (macromolecules) formed from glucose molecules joined by 1-4 glycosidic bonds.Both are insoluble: good for starch as it does not affect the osmotic potential of the cells in w...

An action potential travels towards the synaptic terminal down the axon in a wave depolarisation. The voltage gated calcium channels on the membrane of the presynaptic bulb open causing an influx of calci...

Monocular vision (1 eye): Allows us to see 2D images in motionSuitable for short distances but not for long Binocular vision (2 eyes): Allows for depth perception through something called stereopsis (comb...

Primary structure - sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain, amino acids joined by peptide bonds. Secondary structure - folding of the polypeptide chain into regular structures such as alpha-helice...

The first step of the production of an action potential is a stimulus, which is a signal that excites the cell membrane causing Na+ ion channels to open. These channels are called voltage gated ion channe...
