Carbon skeletons may vary in length, shape, number and location of double bonds and other elements covalently bonded to available sites.

A carbon atom contains four valence electrons thus, exhibiting a strong tendency to make covalent bonds with other atoms so as to complete its octet. Covalent bonds join carbon atoms together in long chains that create the skeletal framework for organic molecules.

A carbon atom could be linked to as many as four additional carbon atoms in an organic compound. Carbon atoms can also quickly form double bonds (where four electrons are shared among two atoms) and triple bonds (where six electrons are shared).

This variation in carbon skeletons contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Option D = 3.4 g/mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of water = 21.2 mL

Volume of water + object = 27.8 mL

Mass of object = 22.4 g

Density of object = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the volume of object.

Volume of object = Volume of water+ object - volume of water

Volume of object = 27.8 mL - 21.2 mL

Volume of object = 6.6 mL

Density of object:

d = m/v

d = 22.4 g/ 6.6 mL

d = 3.4 g/mL

Given the inefficiency of two of the pathways shown in Figure 2-4, what advantage could
grandymaker [24]
I’m assuming this entire thing is cellular respiration. pathway a most likely represents alcoholic fermentation, B represent lactic acidosis fermentation, C probably represents aerobic cellular respiration. Alcoholic fermentation doesn’t occur in humans, it occurs in micro bacteria and yeast. Lactic acidosis fermentation occurs in humans when there is not oxygen. That’s why you breathe so heavily after sprinting. Cellular respiration just happens naturally. Idk if that’s what the question is asking so feel free to comment and if this helped, brain answer?

motikmotik

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Regarding the situation explained in the question that "African Americans are not affected by the malaria disease because of a specific genetic trait that they possess and that trait provides them with protection" can be explained by the answer given in option B.

Being heterozygous, meaning possessing a dominant and a recessive allele regarding that genetic trait, in terms of sickle cell trait which is a gene that causes the individual's blood cells to be sickle shaped and balanced polymorphism which means carrying two different versions of a gene is an argument that is enough to prove that the above statement is incorrect because it means they have blood cells that can be affected by the malaria disease.

I hope this answer helps.
