Question

How many times larger is the number of hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms in a molecule of water, H2O? ______ b. Is this number the same for monosaccharides? _________

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is- A) two, B) yes, the number is the same as monosaccharides.

Explanation:

There are three atoms are present in a molecule of water which includes two atoms of the hydrogen and one atom of the oxygen. The hydrogen atom is two times larger in the number of the oxygen atom in a single molecule of the water.

In monosaccharides, the ratio of the atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is 1:2:1 which means one hydrogen atom would be twice in the number of the carbon and oxygen atoms in a single molecule of monosaccharide molecule.

Thus, the correct answer is - A) two, B) yes, the number is the same as monosaccharides.
