Heyo,
Sugar is a pure substance. A pure substance is a substance that has chemical properties. Sugar is a pure substance.
Potassium Iodide have a lot of strong bonds which requires a very high temperature (high energy) to break them and change into a different state of matter.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?
a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA
d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells
Answer:
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
Explanation:
Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).
This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.
All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
The building blocks of protein are amino acids.
Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.
Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks from which proteins are constructed.
The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH- is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.
