Answer:

Synthesis.

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

For example:

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

when magnesium combine with chlorine it form magnesium chloride.

Magnesium is alkaline earth metal and present in group two. Magnesium has two valance electrons. Magnesium atom loses its two electron to complete the octet. Chlorine is halogen element and have seven valance electrons. Chlorine needed one electron to complete the octet. When it combine with magnesium atom it accept the two electrons from magnesium atom that's why two chlorine atoms are combine with one magnesium atom to make the compound neutral.

In order to synthesize proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, cells require _____.

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

A sugar group would be used for carbohydrates or nucleic acids. An adenosine group would be used in ATP formation if I recall correct. And disaccharides are just two monosaccharides linked together, so that would also be for carbohydrates. Therefore, energy is the answer.

A selectively permeable membrane separates solution a and

Yakvenalex [24]

The water molecules will flow from b to a due to osmosis.

Osmosis is where water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a selectively permeable membrane.

When the water molecule concentration is higher, it has a higher water potential top. Water potential is the tendency for them to flow to a lower region.

The net movement will stop until both sides of the solution has a same water potential.

A nonmetal

$^{16}_{\phantom{1}8}\text{O}$ .

Oxygen-16 is the atom in question.

Atomic number: 8.
Mass number: 16.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The superscript of the ion says "2-". That means that the ion here carries a charge of -2.

The charge is negative, meaning that there are more electrons (which are negative) than protons (which are positive) in that ion.
The size of the charge is 2. There are two more electrons than protons in that ion.

There are 10 electrons in total in that ion. There are two more electrons than protons. That means that there are 10 - 2 = 8 protons in that ion.

The atomic number of an atom is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of X is 8.

The atomic number determines the element. Atomic number 8 is oxygen. Thus element X is oxygen.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom. 8 + 8 = 16 for this atom.

How many molecules are there in 5.0g of C2H5OH?

Vilka [71]

About 6.5x10^22 molecules. (5g C2H5OH)x(1 mol C2H5OH/46g C2H5OH)x(6.02x10^23 molecules C2H5OH/1 mol C2H5OH)=(3.01E24)/46=6.5x10^22. Let me know if this helped!
