<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.

Rock Mineral

Explanation:

Rock minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a definite chemical composition and an orderly arrangement of atoms.

Minerals forms as a result of combination of different elements.

The minerals makes up rocks. A rock is an aggregate of minerals.

  • They are naturally occurring: minerals are not formed in the laboratory through a synthetic process.
  • The are inorganic: not formed by living organisms.
  • Solids: minerals are in the solid phase of matter
  • definite chemical composition:  they are compounds and not mixtures.
  • Orderly arrangement of atoms: they are crystalline

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Explanation:

Active cellular transport:

  • It is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient  (from low concentration to high).
  • Active transport requires expense of energy supplied by ATP.
  • It is a rapid way to transport of large sized molecules.

Passive cellular transport:

  • It is the movement of molecules along the concentration gradient (from high concentration to low).
  • Passive transport does not require expense of energy.
  • It is a slow process and small sized molecules get transprorted.
