Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

When food is eaten it is digested by converting it into smaller particles. These smaller particles are than digest and gives the energy to our body. The energy which produced is just come from our food on this base we can say that mass neither created nor destroyed but it change one form to another, just like the form from food to energy.

Another example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Glycoproteins are molecules that are partially simple _______ and partially _________. fig 4.27

serg [7]

The correct answers are "sugar" and "amino acids." We can find this answer within the name itself. The prefix "glyco-" relates to producing sugar (think glucose and glycogen, which are both forms of sugar), and the suffix "proteins" is exactly that: proteins (which are made up of amino acids). So, when we say glycoprotein, we can think "sugar-protein," which gives us our answer.

What are principle basis on classification

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Classification is a systematic ordering of the object of research, in this case, ecosystems at the earth's surface or, in other words: landscape units as 'holons'. As for general principles of classification, we can learn a lot from the best-known classification, the taxonomical classification of species.

Which two molecules generated by the Krebs cycle pass their high-energy electrons to the electron transport

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The two molecules generated by the Krebs cycle that pass their high-energy electrons to the electron transport are NADH and FADH2

Explanation:

The kreb's cycle gives NADH and also the another hydrogen carrier which is termed as FADH2. During the process of the electron transport chain, one NADH gives rise to electrons and also the hydrogen ions, which has enough potential energy that can convert and produce 3 ATP molecules. Again in the electron transport chain the NADH and the FADH2 undergoes oxidation and releases energy in the form of the ATP. The process of generation of the ATP in the electron transport chain(ETC) is also referred as the chemiosmotic phosphorolation.
