There are two ways that can be used to name isotopes of an element. This is best illustrated by examples. We'll use the element chlorine for simplicity.

The first example is the more common one. The formula for this notation is E-m where E is the name of the element and m is the mass number.
(1) Chlorine-35
(2) Chlorine-37
(3) Chlorine 38

Another is less commonly used. The formula for this notation is m^ a L where m is the mass number, a is the atomic number and L is the first letter of the element.
(1) 35^ 35 Cl
(2) 37^ 35 Cl
(3) 38^ 35 Cl

Explanation:

The backbone system is responsible for the sensation of touch and proprioception (which is the ability to recognize the spatial location of the body, its position and orientation, the force exerted by the muscles and the position of each body part relative to the others).

This system transmits information outside the body to a region called the postcentral gyrus in the cerebral cortex, which transmits stimuli, sensed by the body, to the brain.

Which of the following biomolecules is best represented by this formula?

Alona [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "lipid".

Explanation:

Lipids, known also as fats or oils, are organic compounds that are insoluble in water and are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The formula of this question shows a biomolecule that is made up of this three atoms, and even though carbohydrate are made up of this three atoms as well, we can determine that it belongs to a lipid because it contains many more hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms. Other characteristic of lipids is their long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are represented by the lines shown in blue. I attached the missing formula.
