Answer

Omega-3 fatty acid

Explanation:

The monomers are small units or molecules which join with each other end in a huge to end and give rise to the polymers.

DNA and albumin:

If we talk about albumin it is a protein which is present in eggs. All proteins are made up of monomers of amino acids. Similarly, DNA is also a polymer because it is made up hundreds and thousands of small monomeric units called nucleotides.

glycogen:

It is also a biological polymer where several monomer units of glucose are joined together through alpha acetal linkages.

Omega-3 fatty acid:

It is not a polymer. Its a group of fatty acids that contain a double bond at carbon of 3rd position from one end of the carbon chain that was initiated from methyl group and contains one carboxyl group located at the other molecular end. For example: Alpha-Linelenic acid.

Therefore, Omega-3 fatty acid is the right option.

Hope it helps!

The chemical formula of bromomethane is BrCH3. Which correctly describes the number of atoms of each element in bromomethane?

Anit [1.1K]

The number of atoms of each element :

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Bromomethane-CH₃Br

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.

The number of atoms in a compound is generally indicated as a subscript after the atom

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

Total 5 atoms

Activity C: Hydrolysis of Carbohydrates As discussed earlier, disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Sucrose: glucose and fructose

Explanation:

What monosaccharides will result from the hydrolysis of sucrose?

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of 2 different monosaccharides: glucose and fructose joining by a 1 ⇒ 2 bond. These monosaccharides will be released upon the hydrolysis of sucrose.

What monosaccharide will result from the hydrolysis of starch?

Starch is a polysaccharide composed of numerous glucose monomers joined by glycosidic bonds (1 ⇒ 4 and 1 ⇒ 6). These monosaccharides will be released upon the hydrolysis of starch.
