It explains polysaccharides, including starch (energy storage in plants), glycogen (energy in animals), and cellulose (structural component of plants). Starch, found in foods like corn and potatoes, is comprised of glucose and can be broken down for energy, while cellulose is largely indigestible but crucial in various plant materials.

It illustrates their role with a silver chloride precipitation example, showing how to create a net ionic equation by omitting spectator ions. The text also emphasizes the importance of balancing equations for mass and charge, concluding that net ionic equations focus solely on the active participants in a reaction.

Accuracy measures how close a shot lands to the basket, while precision refers to the consistency of shots. Using dartboard examples, the text emphasizes that high precision does not ensure accuracy and that both are vital for success in basketball and scientific measures. Athletes and scientists work to improve both aspects in their respective fields.
