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.

ELEN [110]
The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. It consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The basic function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles. In this way, it is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules. In addition, cell membranes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signalling and serve as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, the carbohydrate layer called the glycocalyx, and the intracellular network of protein fibers called the cytoskeleton. In the field of synthetic biology, cell membranes can be artificially reassembled.

Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
soldi70 [24.7K]

CH2O5 +603-6CO2 + 6H2O + energy isn't the evidence of conservation of mass in cellular respiration.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. And this law holds good for all sorts of chemical reactions except the nuclear reactions.

In case of cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water and energy. Now this energy that is produced isn't produced in expense of mass, but in expense of chemical bonds that are present in glucose molecules.

Also if we calculate the number of atoms on each side of the reaction, the number of atoms remain same as well as number of atoms of individual elements also remain same.
