Blababa [14]3 years ago

An example of two molecules that contain carbon is compound methane ( 1 carbon bounded to four hydrogen. ) and Ethane ( two carbon atoms and four hydrogen ). Carbon is able to form so many molecules/compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms and, because of its size, it fits in nicely as part of large molecules. Hope this helps!

Answer: Catenation

Explanation:

The catenation can be defined as the the property of the carbon atom to bind to another atoms and form compounds. The carbon can combine with hydrogen to form hydrocarbon. This property helps in the formation of multiple number of carbon compounds.

Carbon can form single, double or triple bond based on the atom to which it is combining.

Example: Methane, octane, chloroform et cetera.

What are the correct order of steps on how a reflex occurs?
vagabundo [1.1K]

I believe this would be the correct order:

1) A receptor detects a signal.

2) A sensory neuron sends a signal to the spinal cord.

3) A relay neuron sends a signal to a motor neuron.

4) A muscle receives a signal to contract.

5) A bone moves.


A signal will be picked up by a sensory neuron and sent to the spinal cord (Central Nervous System). The signal will then be sent to a motor neuron in the Peripheral Nervous System to find a muscle. That muscle is signaled to contract which then will cause a bone to move.

What statement best describes the relationship between the products of photosynthesis and the reactants in cellular respiration
zalisa [80]

The products of photosynthesis is to gain energy and build compounds, like glucose from carbon dioxide, making it anabolic

The reactants of cellular respiration are catabolic, and that refers to the breaking down of compounds, which releases energy.

The relationship is that they're complex compounds that consist of materials coming from essential processes in the cell.
