Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are biomolecules that contain hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. They are generally structured as a chain of carbons with hydroxyl groups, and ketones or aldehydes. The subtypes include;

Monosaccharides

Disaccharides

Polysaccharides

Monosaccharides are generally represented by the formula CH2On. They are classified based on the number of carbon atoms they have. Example, hexoses have 6 carbon atoms, pentose, 5, diose, 2 etc. They are also classified based on whether they have ketones or aldehydes. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose and fructose.

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides form glycosidic bond through a dehydration reaction. Examples of disaccharides include; maltose, lactose, and sucrose which is made up of glucose and fructose. An oligosaccharide is made up of 2-10 monosaccharides and are often components of glycoproteins or glycolipids.

Polysaccharides, also called complex carbohydrates are long-chain carbohydrates made of repeated monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Examples are starches and glycogen.

Which statement correctly compares the transfer of genetic material during mitosis and meiosis?
guajiro [1.7K]

<span>d. During mitosis daughter cells receive an exact copy of the parent cells and during meiosis it only receives half of the genetic material.

</span><span>Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. </span>

Match each function with the correct enzyme class.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The correct matching pairs are:

1) - B)

2)- E)

3) - A)

4) - F)

Explanation:

<u>Transferases (B)</u>: Transeferases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving the <u>transfer of certain functional groups. (1)</u>

Example: Transaminase transfers nitrogenous groups

<u>Isomerases (E)</u>: Isomerases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes <u>isomerization reactions and intramolecular rearrangements. (2)</u>

Example: Triosephosphate isomerase interconverts aldoses and ketoses

<u>Oxidoreductases (A)</u>: Oxidoreductases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes <u>redox reactions (3) </u>which involves the simultaneous transfer of electron.

Example: Alcohol oxidoreductases acts on the alcohol functional group

<u>Ligases (F)</u>: Ligases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving <u>chemical bond formation between two molecules. (4)</u>

Example: DNA ligase joins DNA fragments

Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like
Ivahew [28]

Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like  thousands of years ago as Limestone can contain fossilized plants and animals.

Explanation:

  • Limestone often contains fossils of shelled sea creatures. Entire reef formations and communities of organisms are found preserved in limestone.
  • The types of fossils found in limestone include coral, algae, clams, brachiopods, bryozoa and crinoids.
  • Limestone is a sedimentary rock made almost entirely of fossils.
  • Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals, like an imprint in a rock or actual bones and shells that have turned into rock. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks and hold the clues to life on Earth long ago.
  • Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite; calcium carbonate. It often has variable amounts of silica in it, as well as varying amounts of clay, silt, and sand. Limestone rocks fall under the category of sedimentary rocks that are made from mineral calcite.
