A store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models. The sets are described by the diagram below. Each circled letter

represents a box of 6 model atoms of one element. For example, the circled letter "P" represents a box with 6 model phosphorous atoms.
Set 1 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 18 hydrogen atoms. Set 2 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms. Set 3 has 6 carbon, 12 oxygen, 12 hydrogen, 6 nitrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms. Set 4 has 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, 6 hydrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms.

Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule, ideally containing as many monomers as possible. Which set should she choose?

A. Set 1
B. Set 2
C. Set 3
D. Set 4

Answer:

B. Set 2

Explanation:

Carbohydrate is one of the four biological molecules in living systems (others are proteins, lipids and nucleic acid). The carbohydrate molecule consists of a long chain of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements in a ratio 1:2:1. Hence, the simplest unit of a carbohydrate has an empirical formula of (CH2O)n where n is the number of chains.

According to the question, a store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models and Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule. Since carbohydrate monomers have a CH2O formula, Kendra needs a set in which the ratio of carbon: hydrogen: oxygen is 1:2:1. SET 2 fits this description by containing 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms

That is, carbon (12/12) : hydrogen (24/12) : oxygen (12/12), which is 1:2:1. Therefore, SET 2 is the best choice for Kendra in order to build her model of carbohydrate molecule containing as many monomers as possible.

If water vapor continued to increase in our atmosphere, what changes would you expect in freshwater lakes?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer;

Lake temperatures will increase, but dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease.


Explanation;

If water vapor continued to increase in our atmosphere, Lake temperatures will increase, but dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease.

As the temperature of the atmosphere rises, more water is evaporated from the surface of the lakes. This causes an increase in the relative humidity leading to more water vapor in the atmosphere. The result is decreased the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water

A tall pea plant (Tt) is crossbred with a short pea plant (tt). The following Punnett square shows the separated alleles for two
Brut [27]
If you will make a Punnett square for this problem it will look like this:
     T     t
t   Tt    tt
t   Tt    tt

So the genotype in the first and third box would be Tt. On the second and fourth box, we have tt. 

So your answer would be: C. 1 = Tt; 2 = Tt; 3 =tt; 4 = tt

Do pandas blink? If so why or why not?
In-s [12.5K]
Pandas only blink sometimes because they are looking out for danger most of the time. Like other mammals, they have an upper and lower eyelid, so yes they do blink, but not as much as humans.
