<span>It releases ONE H2O to join TWO monomers.
So, when third monomer joins, 2nd H2O will release.
When 4th monomer join, 3rd H2O will release.
...
....
.... and so on.
When the 20th monomer join, 19th H2O will release.

Means in total of 19 water molecule releases</span>

Answer:

The correct answer will be- 19 H₂O molecules.

Explanation:

The formation or synthesis of large macromolecules from monomers is a dehydration reaction. During synthesis one -OH from one monomer while one-H from another monomer is released during bond formation. These two ions bind together and form H₂O molecules.

So a bond formation between two monomers releases one H₂O molecule. If the chain has 20 monomers it will have 19 bonds and thus 19 molecules of H₂O will be released.

Thus, 19 H₂O molecules are the correct answer.

3 POINTS HURRY! What is the relationship between biotechnology, sharkskin, and disease resistance?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The correct option is D: Sharkskin produces many chemicals that can be collected and used to create antibiotics.

Explanation:

Sharkskin can resist bacteria and other types of germs due to the microscopic pattern of ridges it has on its surface. This is especially useful in case of bacteria that have developed an antibiotic resistance. There are biotechnology companies that are developing a product with a texture like that of a sharkskin, so as to have the same properties of microbial resistance.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

What is the difference between a species and a population?What is the difference between a species and a population?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

A population is a group of organisms of the same species, in the same place

A species is a group of organisms that are genetically similar

Explanation:

I like to remember it with humans.

Humans (homo sapiens) are a species. We are all genetically similar and can share genetic material by reproduction.

In a city, a lot of humans are together and that is a population of humans

As a species however, we are all over the place
