Answer: Carbon backbone is present in organic molecules. Inorganic molecules do not have carbon.

Explanation:

The main difference between inorganic and organic compound is the presence of a carbon backbone in the organic molecules. While, inorganic compounds do not have it, this means it lacks a carbon atom (except CO2, which is considered inorganic)

Carbon has the ability to form large and complex molecules and bond to itself many times, and it can be bonded to hydrogen and also other atoms.

<u>For example, living organisms are made of organic molecules</u> because they form DNA, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. Meanwhile, examples of <u>inorganic compounds include metals, salts</u> and others.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

e.)  If exposure to cowpox gives immunity to smallpox in milkmaids, then milkmaids have a natural immunity and their blood should be used to develop a smallpox vaccine.

Explanation:

  • Milkmaids who suffered from cowpox did not suffer from smallpox i.e. they were immune to the disease.
  • If milkmaids did not suffer from smallpox then there must be some element of immunity that they received once they had recovered from cowpox, this would likely be found in their blood as antibodies.
