salantis [7]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen

Explanation:

The chemical composition of glucose is C6H12O6

The chemical composition of fructose is C6H12O6

The chemical composition of Sucrose is C12H22O11

As we can see that all the three molecules i.e glucose, fructose and sucrose have carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in their chemical formula. However, if we consider the general definition of carbohydrates  we can see that a carbohydrate is a macro molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen

All carbohydrates are made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.

The chemical formula for Glucose is C_{6}  H_{12}  O_{6} .
The chemical formula for Fructose is the same as that of Glucose. The difference between the two is how they are structured.
The chemical formula for Sucrose is C_{12} H_{22}  O_{11} .

As you can see in the chemical formulas of Glucose, Fructose, and Sucrose, they are all made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

What causes the dangerous red tides in the ocean?
Leto [7]

<span>Red tides are formed by dinofllagelata, eucaryotic flagellate organisms. Dinoflagellates are marine plankton which means they drift on the surface of the sea. Those are small, nonmobile organisms who sometimes bloom in concentrations of more than a million cells per ml. The bloom is often red colour so the phenomenon is called red tides. </span>Under such circumstances, they can produce toxins, dinotoxins<span> which are capable of killing fish, so that's why this occurrence is dangerous.</span>

What type of epithelium is the "respiratory epithelium"? (Hint: this is NOT the same thing as the "respiratory membrane". The re
Leona [35]

Answer:

The respiratory epithelium is a type of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

Explanation:

The epithelium (a type of tissue) lines the blood vessels and inner-outer surfaces of organs. Their function includes protection, secretion, absorption, transport, etc. Based on the shape, they are classified as squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. Also, they can be simple epithelium (a single layer of cells) or stratified (layers of two or more cells).

Respiratory epithelium (airway epithelium) is a type of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. It is the epithelium that is found in the respiratory mucosa and lines most of the respiratory tract. It protects and moist the airways. It prevents infection by the self-cleaning mechanism of the airways (mucociliary clearance) and thus acts as a barrier to pathogens and foreign particles. It also secretes mucus and prevents tissue injury. The respiratory epithelium contains four types of cells-ciliated, goblet, club and airway basal cells. The arrangement of these multiple cell types as a single layer results in the non- alignment of their nuclei in the same plane. So the epithelium appears as layered or stratified. Hence the name pseudostratified or falsely layered.

How would your body respond if your blood pH raised to 7.46?
trapecia [35]
Well an increase in alkaline causes pH levels to rise. When the levels of acid in your blood are too high, it's called acidosis. When your blood is too alkaline, it is called alkalosis. Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis are due to a problem with the lungs.
