True organic compounds are important to all living things



Carbon is so important because of the unique bonding properties that allow carbon molecules to form long chains called polymers or
compact well organized rings. These two bonding patterns make carbon one of the most versatile elements for molecular construction.

A molecule with the formula C18H36O2, would probably exhibit which of the following characteristics?
Mashcka [7]
The answer would be A—the molecular formula given is that of a long-chain, saturated fatty acid, which would be insoluble in water (i.e., hydrophobic).

—————————

B describes carbohydrates, which can function as a storage of energy (e.g., starch or glycogen) or structural components (e.g., cellulose). The three examples just given are polymers of glucose, a monosaccharide; monosaccharide generally have the empirical formula CH2O; this is not the empirical formula of the given molecule (and, in any case, there are too few oxygen atoms for the number of carbon atoms), and so B is incorrect.

C describes an amino acid, likely an α-amino acid, which consist of a central, saturated carbon bonded to amino (—NH2) and carboxyl (—C(=O)OH) functional groups and a variable side chain, which determines the amino acid’s properties. Since the formula of an amino acid must contain nitrogen, which the formula given doesn’t have, the molecule couldn’t be an amino acid, and so C is incorrect.

D describes nucleic acids. Examples include DNA and RNA; nucleic acids and the nucleotide monomers that comprise them contain a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The given molecule’s formula has neither nitrogen nor phosphorus, and so cannot represent an amino acid, making D incorrect.

A Eukaryotic cell engulfing a bacterial cell.

You may want to know that the bacteria which used to photosynthesise , after they have been engulfed by an eukaryotic cell , they evolved into Chloroplasts .
However for the bacteria which used to respire , they have evolved into mitochondria.

Hope this helps :) Good Luck !
