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.

Answer:

Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants (Figure 5.5). After the process is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate molecules, most commonly glucose.

How have dna microarrays made a huge impact on genomic studies?

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Microarray technology is a very useful technology that allows to study the measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously. It consists of a solid support (that can be glass, silice, or nylon), and to it are attached a lot of single stranded DNA fragments that acts like probes. By complementarity, the genes corresponding to this probes that are being expressed at some time will attach to it. Probe-target hybridization is usually detected and quantified by detection of a fluorophore compund, a silver stained, or chemiluminescence-labeled targets.

Wittaler [7]

Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows :

Clotting begins when a _________ occurs in a blood vessel wall. Almost immediately, _______ cling to the blood vessel wall and release _____________ which helps to decrease blood loss by constricting the vessel. __________ is also released by damaged cells in the area. This chemical substance causes ________to be converted to ____________. Once present, thrombin acts as an enzyme to atatch ___________molecules together to form long, threadlike strands of _________, which then traps ____________ flowing by in the blood.

Answer:

Clotting begins when a BREAK occurs in a blood vessel wall. Almost immediately, PLATELETS cling to the blood vessel wall and release SEROTONIN, which helps to decrease blood loss by constricting the vessel. THROMBOPLASTIN is also released by damaged cells in the area. This chemical substance causes PROTHROMBIN to be converted to THROMBIN. Once present, thrombin acts as an enzyme to attach FIBRINOGEN molecules together to form long, threadlike strands of FIBRIN, which then traps ERYTHROCYTES flowing by in the blood.
