Answer:

The answer to your question is C₂HO₃

Explanation:

Data

Hydrogen = 3.25%

Carbon = 19.36%

Oxygen = 77.39%

Process

1.- Write the percent as grams

Hydrogen = 3.25 g

Carbon = 19.36 g

Oxygen = 77.39 g

2.- Convert the grams to moles

                     1 g of H ----------------- 1 mol

                   3,25 g of H -------------  x

                     x = (3.25 x 1) / 1

                     x = 3.25 moles

                    12 g of C ---------------- 1 mol

                     19.36 g of C ----------  x

                     x = (19.36 x 1) / 12

                     x = 1.61 moles

                     16g of O --------------- 1 mol

                     77.39 g of O ---------  x

                      x = (77.39 x 1)/16

                      x = 4.83

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon = 3.25/1.61 = 2

Hydrogen = 1.61/1.61 = 1

Oxygen = 4.83/1.61 = 3

4.- Write the empirical formula

                        C₂HO₃

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:

A) All cell have a cell wall.

B) All cell arise from pre-existing cells.

C) All cell are capable of photosynthesis.

D) All cell can develop into any other type of cell.

The answer is B

Explanation:

The commonly known universal theory proposed in 1838 took the contribution from three remarkable scientists namely: botanist Matthias Schleiden, anatomist Theodor Schwann and biologist Rudolph Virchow. According to the question, Mathias discovered that all plants are made of cells, Schwann determined that all animals are made of cells while Virchow determined that all living things are composed of cells.

However, in addition to Virchow's discovery, he also discovered and proposed that "All cell arise from pre-existing cells", which till date forms part of the three components of the cell theory. The three parts are:

- Cell is the fundamental and basic unit of all living things.

- All living things are made up of one or more cells

- All cells arise from pre-existing cells
