The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms. ... Meanwhile, inorganic compounds include the salts, metals, and other elemental compounds.

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.

Answer:

D. Particle A orbits the nucleus, and Particle B is located in the nucleus​

Explanation:

Here since both particles are of the same atom and particle A is much lighter we can infer that Particle A is electron because electrons are much lighter than protons which are Particle B in this case. Thus, particle A orbits nucleus as an electron does and particle B is in nucleus where protons are.

Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to
erica [24]


Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to antigens.

During an initial encounter with a foreign antigen, the body's immune system namely the adaptive arm of the immune system, produces memory cells, a group of special lymphocytes that retain and store memory of the antigen.

On a second encounter with the same kind of antigen, the immune system "remembers" the antigen and mounts a rapid, specific and vigorous immune response against the antigen. This response includes the production of massive amounts of antibodies very specific to the antigen.

The antibodies effectively neutralize the antigen and facilitate its destruction.

What were three impacts on modern animals that came from the Cambrian Explosion?
lidiya [134]
The Cambrian explosion was a period at the Pre-Cambrian boundary of the geologic time scale at 542 Ma. At this boundary, the fossil record shows that animals suddenly appeared in a dramatic radiation of life. A radiation is the relatively rapid development of new types of organisms that derive from a common ancestor. The Cambrian explosion is important because it marks the origination of all major animal groups called phyla.
