Why aren't lipids considered polymers?
OverLord2011 [107]
A polymer is made up of monomers. A monomer is a unit that occurs in repetitive chains. Lipids do not occur in repetitive chains, so they are not classified as monomers. Since they're not monomers, they can't make up polymers, either.

What is true of carbon atoms? (2 points)
Rudiy27
By process of elimination you can find the right answer. We know for a fact that carbon is found in all living organisms. That is why we talk about carbon based life forms. So the first statement cannot be true. You can figure out how many Valence electrons an element has by looking at the group number. The group number of carbon is 4 so the 2nd statement cannot be true. We know that carbon does bond with other elements because it is not a noble gas and therefore must be able to form compounds.
This means the answer must be they can form up to four covalent bonds

A balanced chemical equation?
Strike441 [17]
A balance chemical equation is an equation describing a chemical reaction with the right number of molecules to cancel out each side of the equation.
For example:
H2 + O2 —> H2O
Make sure the number of molecules in your reactants equal the number of molecules in your product
2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O
(4 hydrogens and 2 oxygens = 4 hydrogens and 2 oxygens)
