4) Production of rRNA/ri-
bosomes
2. 1.2) Name the main polymer that forms the fol- Plant cell wall : cellulose
lowing cell walls Fungal cell wall: Chiten
3. 1.3) Suggest one reason the scientists used individual organisms
biomass instead of the number of individuals could not be separat-
of each plant species when collecting data to ed/identified
measure diversity OR
too time-consuming
OR
too small/numerous to
count individuals
