A carbohydrate composed of two covalently bonded simple sugars is called a <u>disaccharide</u>.

Carbohydrates or sugars are one of the four main categories of the macromolecules that make up living things (the other three being nucleic acids, proteins and lipids). It can either be a simple sugar (sugar monomer or monosaccharide) or a polymer of simple sugars.

Carbohydrates are composed entirely of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Simple sugars or monosaccharides contain six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms. When two monosaccharides bond covalently, they form a disaccharide.

Some examples of disaccharides include:

  • Sucrose or table sugar - It is made up of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule
  • Lactose or milk sugar - It is made up of one glucose and one galactose molecule
  • Maltose or malt sugar - It is made up of two glucose molecules.

What will a hypothesis become if supported by repeated expermentation
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Answer: The correct answer is- Theory.

Hypothesis can be described as an assumption or proposition, which is made on the basis of certain evidences without knowing the real truth about it. It is tested further for investigation about the proposed explanation with the help of repeated experiments (using certain protocols).

When it becomes supported by repeated experimentation, it is converted into theory.

Thus, theory is the right answer.

What is the key difference among the 20 amino acids that are used to make proteins?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Attached R side groups

Explanation:

The proteins are one of the important biomolecules which are directly coded by the genetic material of an organism.

The proteins are composed of the amino acids which possess, an amine group, a carboxylic group and an attached side group called the R group.

It is the R group of an amino acid which determines whether the amino acid will a polar or a non-polar amino acid molecule thus it determines the properties of the amino acid in terms of chemical properties. The R side group are involved in the formation of bonds with the substrate of the environment and the tertiary structure of the proteins.

Thus, the presence of different R group is the key difference in 20 amino acids.

Is ductility considered as a physical property or a chemical property
Elena L [17]

Ductility is a physical property.

A physical property of a material is a property that can be measured or observed without changing the composition of the material.

In this case ductility is a physical property. It is defined as the  property of a material associated with the ability to be drawn or stretched into a wire without breaking. The chemical identity of the material is not affected, that is  it does not change.

Example of ductile materials include gold, silver, copper, erbium, terbium and samarium.

Other examples of physical properties are:

1. Solubility

2. Melting point.

3. Boiling point.

4. Color

5. Density.
