The monomer units of the carbohydrates vary in their total numbers extensively. Moreover, positions of the carbonyl groups along with the orientation of the hydroxyl groups also vary in the carbohydrates' monomers. The presence of any modification is also variable.
On the other hand, the nucleic acids have only 4 monomeric units. The linkages between the nucleic acid residues have less geometry than the glycosidic linkages.
Answer: C) The cell can produce energy for cellular functions.
Explanation: A cell is the functional unit of all living things. Cells are made up different parts with specialized functions. Cells take in nutrients from food and convert them to energy which is needed for other cellular functions. The specialized functions of the different parts of a cell can only be carried out if sufficient energy is provided by the cell. The functions of different parts of a cell include reproduction, absorption of nutrients and removal of substances from the cell, protein synthesis but none of these functions will be carried out if energy is not supplied.
Answer:
The process that is used by producers to make glucose is called photosyntheis and the chemical process used by both producers ans consumers to make ATP ito contribute to the energy exchange is called cellular respiration.
Explanation:
Photosynthsis
Photosynthesis occue in the mesophyll tissue present in leaves of plants .During photosynthesis the green plants or producers acquires CO2 from the atmosphere and utilizes water in presence of sunlight to produce glucose molecules along with the liberation of oxygen gas.
Cellular respiration
During cellular respiration the glucose molecules are oxidized to form energy in form of ATP along with the production of water and carbon dioxide.
The O2 that formed during photosynthesis is inhaled by human beings for respiration whereas the CO2 that is produced as waste material inside our body is exhaled by us in the atmosphere.The CO2 is then used by the green plants to carry out photosynthesis.
Answer:
Atoms are electrically neutral as a result of having an equal amount of positive (due to the protons) and negative (due to the electrons) charges on it.
An ion generally is an electrically unbalanced atom (i.e an atom with a net charge on it)
A negative ion called an anion is produced when an atom gains an extra electron from a neighboring atom, giving it an extra negative charge. This can be produced by ionization with a radioactive radiation or simply by dissolution.
A positive ion is called a cation and it is produced when an atom loses electron to a neighboring atom. The loss of this electron causes the positive charges to outweigh the negative charges in the atom. Cations can be produced by radioactive radiation ionization of an atom or by simple dissolution.
The subatomic particle that is negative is the 'electron'.
