Option A would be the appropriate one as we know the common formula of carbs is CH2O we can get C10H20O10 by that formule! :)

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The other elements are <u>A. 10 oxygen and 20 hydrogen</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Carbohydrates are generally hydrates of carbon. A molecule of carbohydrate is usually made of elements like carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen are in a 2:1 ratio like they present in water.

The empirical formula of carbohydrate is $C_m(H_2O)_n$ , where m and n can be different. They can also be called as saccharides and often as sugar. They can either be a small molecule like glucose or large molecules like starch.

Which reason best explains why carbon is able to form marcromolecules

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: The atom of carbon is able to form macromolecules because it has only four electrons in its outer shell. This is the reason why it can bond with four other carbon atoms. The bonds that it forms with other carbon molecules are very stable.

Explanation: I did my research and i also took Science class. :)

Use the original DNA sequence above to write an example of each of the following types of mutations: insertion, substitution, an

Tanya [424]

For example: GGATACCTAGGTAAT

Insertion: GGAT<u>G</u>ACCTAGGTAAT

a nucleotide that was not present before is inserted into the original sequence

Substitution: <u>C</u>GATACCTAGGTAAT

the first nucleotide was substituted in for another (C for G)

Frameshift (basically a insertion or deletion, we'll try deletion here): GATACCTAGGTAAT

the first nucleotide was deleted, causing the reading frame to be shifted (instead of GGA as the first codon, we have GAT)
