Answer and Explanation:

Carbohydrates are a type of biomolecule that the body uses primarily for energy and/or structure. They usually consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) in a 1 : 2 : 1 ratio. For example, glucose, a carbohydrate, is C_6H_{12}O_6.

Monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides, and polymers are called disaccharides if two monosaccharides are combined and polysaccharides if more than two monosaccharides are put together.

Examples of carbohydrates are sugars, starches, cellulose, lactose, sucrose, etc.

Which of the following are physical characteristics of blood? 1. it is more viscous than water 2. its temperature is about 38ºC
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

A property which does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as physical property.

For example, blood is more viscous than water, its pH is slightly alkaline, its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F)  .

On the other hand, a property which changes chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical property.

For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

Sometimes, the change in color of a substance can also occur due to a chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that following are the physical characteristics of blood.

  • it is more viscous than water.
  • its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F).
  • the pH is slightly alkaline.
  • it is about 8% of one’s total body weight.

Hello!!<br>Who was Neil Bohr?<br>Explain the theory he introduced.<br>​
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom, based on quantum theory that some physical quantities only take discrete values. Electrons move around a nucleus, but only in prescribed orbits, and if electrons jump to a lower-energy orbit, the difference is sent out as radiation.
