Answer:d.break them down to monosaccharides

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are polymers made of monosaccharide monomers. The polysaccharides do not release energy except the monosacharides are broken down to monosaccharides by stepwise hydrolysis. To obtain energy from polysaccharides, the constituent monosacharides are obtained and these are now involved in the biological cycles that liberate energy.

If you examined the human body on a chemical composition basis, which of the following combinations of elements would be most co
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

(C) O, C, H, N

Explanation:

<u>Roughly 96% of mass of human body is made up of four elements which are oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen.</u>

Oxygen and hydrogen are predominantly found in the water, which makes up about 60% of body's weight. Carbon is synonymous with the life. The central role of carbon is due to fact that it has four bonding sites which allow for building of long and complex chains of the molecules. Moreover, these carbon bonds can be formed and also be broken with amount of energy which makes life alive. Nitrogen is found in organic molecules, including amino acids which make up the proteins, and nucleic acids which make up the DNA.

Answer:

The physical and chemical properties of the product do not match the properties of the reactant.

Explanation:

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

The reaction between sugar and oxygen form a product which is different from the reactant that's why it indicate the occurrence of chemical reaction.

While in case of physical changes just state of matter are changed. Properties remain same.

If water were a non-polar<br> Molecule
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Water would not be able to transport nutrients -‐-‐ in plants, or in our bodies -‐-‐ nor to dissolve and transport waste products out of our bodies. ... Cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and surface tension: would decrease because without the +/-‐ polarity, water would not form hydrogen bonds between H20 molecules.

What is defined as the number of atoms surrounding an atom in a crystal lattice?
Simora [160]

Answer:

coordination number

Explanation:

Coordination number -

In a crystal lattice , the number of atoms that are surrounded to a particular atom , is referred to as the coordination number of the crystal.

In the field of crystallography and chemistry , it is also called the ligancy.

In coordination chemistry , the number of ligands attached to the central metal atom is also known as the coordination number of the coordination compound.

Hence, from the given statement of the question,

The correct term is coordination number.
