Answer:

A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds as one carbon atom has four valence electrons (in outermost shell). It is a fact that the number of valence electrons in a atom determines the number of covalent bonds it will form. Thus, each electron in carbon atom is used to form four covalent bonds with various four atoms.

Explanation:

A bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a non-polar covalent bond. The non-polar covalent bond are the bonds between two atoms which share equal number of electron(s) with each other. Example: as in case of methane, where one carbon atom shares its 4 outer valence electrons with four hydrogens by sharing equal number of electron.

In contrast, polar covalant bond are the bonds between two atoms which share unequal number of electron(s) with each other. Thus these bonds are partially ionic.

jeyben [28]

Question:All known organisms use genetic information to produce protein molecules via the same genetic code. This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that __________.

a) the earliest macromolecules probably arose when lightning struck an oxygen-free atmosphere

b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors

c) the genetic code readily evolves by natural selection

d) there's only one possible way to encode information in a macromolecule

Answer:

b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors

Explanation:

Protein synthesis occurs when the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. A specific genetic code specifies the same amino acid in all living beings. For example, the code "UUU" codes for phenylalanine in all the living beings irrespective of their species. This suggests that all the life forms have originated from one or few common ancestors and the genetic code has been preserved during the course of evolution of various species.

How does paving and concreting areas affect watersheds?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

As the amount of impervious paved surfaces increase, watersheds become more vulnerable to pollutants. When rains fall on a conventionally paved impervious surface, the precipitation is generally directed down storm drains, which can result in flooding and overwhelming the storm water management system.

Are performed to assess the adequacy of the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle
Crazy boy [7]
The correct answer would be stress tests. These are performed to assess the adequacy of the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle during exercise and at rest. With this, the absence or presence of a heart disease can be indicated. This is a common procedure done in Cardiography and Cardiovascular Monitoring Services. During this test, the patient is asked to do exercises usually using a treadmill while the patient is hooked on an EKG or electrocardiogram machine. As one exercises, the doctor would monitor the heart rate reading the systole and the diastole. There are also imaging tests to be able to capture pictures of the blood flow in the heart.
