I need help please and thank you! Also if you found the answer can you explain how you did, like wat did u search for...if it’s
not a bother thanx! Apex

Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and with their atoms connected in the same way but pointing in different directions.
<em>cis</em>-Pent-2-ene has formula C₅H₁₀
A. is wrong, because its formula is C₅H₁₂
B. and D. are wrong, because their formulas are C₅H₈
The only option left is C. It has formula C₅H₁₀
C. is a stereoisomer of <em>cis</em>-pent-2-ene, because atoms 1 and 4 are on opposite sides of the double bond.
Think of the C=C bond as a river.
In the <em>cis </em>isomer (top), atoms 1 and 4 are on the same side of the river (zis = zame zide).
In the <em>trans</em> isomer (bottom), atoms 1 and 4 are on opposite sides of the river (trans = across or opposite).
So, C. is a stereoisomer of cis-pent-2-ene.

Procaryotic structural components consist of macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, polysaccharides, phospholipids, or some combination thereof. The macromolecules are made up of primary subunits such as nucleotides, amino acids and sugars (Table 1). It is the sequence in which the subunits are put together in the macromolecule, called the primary structure, that determines many of the properties that the macromolecule will have. Thus, the genetic code is determined by specific nuleotide base sequences in chromosomal DNA; the amino acid sequence in a protein determines the properties and function of the protein; and sequence of sugars in bacterial lipopolysaccharides determines unique cell wall properties for pathogens. The primary structure of a macromolecule will drive its function, and differences within the primary structure of biological macromolecules accounts for the immense diversity of life.
