Is it hydrophobic or hydrophilic? Place the substance in water and see what happens... Does it shed all of the water immediately, or does it absorb the water...?

You can also place the substance on some paper. If it makes a grease spot (if you've ever put Cheez-its or Goldfish on your homework paper, you know what I'm talking about) then you know its a lipid. If it does not make a grease spot, you know it is NOT a lipid, so it will be a carb.

If this helped, please make it the brainliest answer! (The button's at the bottom of my answer) :)

Due to the fact that we possess enzymes that break down the alpha linkages in starch, the glucose molecules that make up amylose
dedylja [7]

The answer is: A. True

Complex sugars or polysaccharides are composed of basic units called monosaccharides that are linked via  glycosidic bonds. Glycosidic bond is formed through condensation reactions (water is released) that occur between a hydroxyl (OH) oxygen atom on one sugar and the α-anomeric form of C-1 on the other. There are are two types of glycosidic bonds:

- 1,4 alpha ( the OH is below the glucose ring)

- 1,4 beta glycosidic bonds (the OH is above the glucose ring)

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller glucose molecules, it act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds and it works in mouth where the digestion begins (salivary amylase) . Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose; sucrase, breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose; and lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose work in small intestine and also act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

What is a transformer?!?!
Vladimir79 [104]
The transformer is a static electric machine (because it contains no moving parts) belonging to the broader category of converters. In particular the transformer to convert the parameters of voltage (V symbol unit [V] volts) and current (symbols The unit [A] amperes) input than output, while maintaining constant the amount of power electrical (less the losses due to hysteresis and eddy currents). The transformer is a machine able to operate only in alternating current, because it exploits the principles of electromagnetism linked to variable flows. <span>The transformer has paramount importance in today's world: without it, the electricity transmission grids that connect power plants to millions of homes and industries could not function</span>
