Answer:

Oxygen and two hydrogen molecules

Explanation:

Polarity simply implies a molecules with positive and negatively charged ends.

The two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom within water molecules (H2O) form polar covalent bonds.

While there is no net charge to a water molecule, the polarity of water creates a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water's properties of attraction.

The oxygen is negative and the hydrogen is positive, so it has a slightly negative side and a slightly positive side. (like a magnet has opposite ends)

starch is digested by amylase in mouth, but it is not digested in the stomach. what is the reason for this?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Only about five percent of starches are broken down in the mouth. (This is a good thing as more glucose in the mouth would lead to more tooth decay.) When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach.

Which is not true of STRs?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

These are small consecutive repetitive sections of the DNA – mostly between 5 – 50 times repetitions. They are not part of coding regions (genes) and therefore are prone to non-lethal mutations of DNA. They are therefore very variable between individuals and can be used for DNA forensic identification.
