How did Aristotle's inability to detect parallax lead him to propose a geocentric model of the Solar System.

1 answer:

6 0

He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.

Write a simple rule that will tell a person how many water molecule will be lost while putting monosaccharides together to form

belka [17]

<span>For hydrolysis to monosaccharides, one molecule of a disaccharide needs only one molecule of water. C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) Structurally, a disaccharide molecule may be viewed as a product formed by the condensation of two molecules of monosaccharides with the elimination of a water molecule. So, only one H2O molecule is needed for the reverse process.</span>
