A polymer is a large molecule that forms when smaller molecules known as monomers bond covalently in a repeating pattern. There

are many biological polymers such as nucleic acids, proteins, and starches. What are the monomer units that make up starches?

Answer:

glucose

Explanation:

Starch -

Starch is generated by the plants , and is a granular , white , organic compound .

The general formula of the starch is (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ , the n shows it to be a polymer , and it is composed of small monomers of glucose , that are linked  at the alpha 1 , 4 linkages.

Starch is is colorless , and tasteless powder.

The most simplest form of starch is the linear polymer amylose , and the branched one amylopectin.

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?
saw5 [17]
Answer:
             There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
                   This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.

What is the molarity of a solution containing 8.9 g of NaOH in 550. mL of NaOH solution?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,  

NaOH

, divided by liters of solution.

molarity

=

moles of solute

liters of solution

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution, but that the volume is expressed in milliliters,  

mL

.

Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to

determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams

convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters

So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

=

0.175 moles NaOH

The volume of the solution in liters will be

Therefore, the molarity of the solution will be

Rounded to one sig fig, the answer will be

How do the Carnivorous plants survive without soil?
Mkey [24]
Answer:

Carnivorous plants are easy to grow, if you follow a few, simple rules.

Wet all of the time.
Mineral-free water.
Mineral-free soil.
Lots of light.


Wet all of the time.
Carnivorous plants are native to bogs and similar nutrient-poor habitats. As a consequence, the plants live in conditions that are constantly damp. To grow healthy carnivorous plants, it is important to duplicate their habitat as closely as possible. Keep the soil wet or at least damp all of the time. The easiest way to do this is use the tray method. Set the pots in a tray or saucer, and keep water in it at all times. Pitcher plants can grow in soggy soil with the water level in the saucer as deep as 1/2 the pot, but most carnivorous plants prefer damp to wet soil, so keep the water at about 1/4 inch and refill as soon as it is nearly gone. Water from below, by adding water to the tray, rather than watering the plant. This will avoid washing away the sticky muscilage of the sundews and butterworts and keep from closing the flytraps with a false alarm.


Mineral-free water.
Always use mineral-free water with your carnivorous plants, such as rainwater or distilled water. Try keeping a bucket near the downspout to collect rainwater. Distilled water can be purchased at the grocery store, but avoid bottled drinking water. There are simply too many minerals in it. The condensation line from an air conditioner or heat pump is another source of mineral-free water. Reverse-osmosis water is fine to use. Carnivorous plants grow in nutrient poor soils. The minerals from tap water can “over-fertilize” and “burn out” the plants. In a pinch, tap water will work for a short while, but flush out the minerals with generous portions of rainwater, when it is available.


Mineral-free soil.
The nutrient poor soils to which the carnivorous plants have adapted are often rich in peat and sand. This can be duplicated with a soil mixture of sphagnum peat moss and horticultural sand. Be sure to check the peat label for sphagnum moss. Other types will not work well. The sand should be clean and washed. Play box sand is great, and so is horticultural sand. Avoid “contractor’s sand” which will contain fine dust, silt, clay and other minerals. Never use beach sand or limestone based sand. The salt content will harm the plants. The ratio of the mix is not critical, 1 part peat with 1 part sand works well for most carnivorous plants. Flytraps prefer a bit more sand, and nepenthes prefer much more peat. Use plastic pots, as terra cotta pots will leach out minerals over time and stress your plants.

Use the conversion factor 1 amu = 1.66054× 10–24 g to answer the following questions. a) 1.67 x 10-24 g of neurons is how many (
sergij07 [2.7K]
You can use the mass of neuron divided by the mass of conversion factor: 1.67*10^(-25)/(1.66054*10^(-24))≈1 amu. So the answer is 1 amu.
