Answer:

A. Fundamental Role

Explanation:

Carbon is present in all the organic compounds, specifically the macromolecules present in the cells of the living beings. The ability of carbon to make four covalent bonds with other atoms and specific orientation of bonded atoms in the space determine the three-dimensional structures of these compounds. And the structure of the compounds regulates their respective functions.  

For example, nucleic acids are the polymers of nucleotides which are joined together to make the long chains of DNA and RNA.  The stretch of nucleotide sequence of DNA serves as gene and code for specific protein. Likewise, enzymes are proteins and have pockets called active sites to interact with substrates.

cupoosta [38]

Answer;

-Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem because they support sea life, such as crabs and sea turtles. In fact, over four thousand species depend on the survival of the reefs, which are being destroyed by bleaching. More must be done immediately to save the reefs.

Explanation;

-Coral reefs are important for many different reasons aside from supposedly containing the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.

-They protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms ( they provide a buffer, protecting our coasts from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, property damage, and erosion) and also provide habitats and shelter for many marine organisms.

Substance A and substance B are mixed together. To separate the mixture, water is added, and substance A is filtered out. Then,
Sveta_85 [38]

The correct answer would be that substance A is rice, and substance B is sugar.

For substance A to be filtered out, it means that A is a water-insoluble substance and for substance B to be recoverable by evaporating off the water, it means that B is water-soluble.

Thus, A can neither be sugar nor alcohol because neither can be recovered by filtration. Also, B can neither be coffee nor alcohol because they can not be recovered as residue through evaporation of water.

Therefore, the only correct answer is that substance A is rice, and substance B is sugar because rice can be filtered out from water while the water-soluble sugar can be recovered by evaporating the water.
