Biology

Answer:

A monosaccharide is made of a 6-carbon cyclic ring. 5 out of the 6 form part of the ring while the other carbon acts as a side group of the 5’ carbon in the ring. When forming a disaccharide with the next monosaccharide, the OH of the 1’ C of one monomer undergoes a condensation reaction with the OH of the 5’ C of the next monomer. This results in the formation of a glycosidic bond and the loss of a water molecule.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The sun provides more than enough energy to meet the whole world's energy needs, and unlike fossil fuels, it won't run out anytime soon. As a renewable energy source, the only limitation of solar power is our ability to turn it into electricity in an efficient and cost-effective way.
