I think you mean (CH2O)6, it is the formula for glucose (or it could be written C6H12O6).

The linear structure is characterized by the presence in the same molecule of a reducing function aldehyde or ketone and at least one alcohol function.

On the other hand, this linear form can be transformed into a cyclic form (in the solutions), and this implies the formation of hemiacetal by bonding between the aldehyde of carbon 1 and the alcohol of the penultimate carbon.

The chemical formula CH2O6 is not a carbohydrate unless it was written this way:
(CH2O)6 which is now the chemical formula of glucose.
Glucose has a linear and a cyclic structure. I will attach the structures since it's difficult to describe the drawing. The first one is straight chain and the next one is the ring.

1. How are populations of chimpanzees affected by slash and burn agriculture? 2. Which features of chimpanzees make them more di

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1. Slash and Burn agriculture refers to a technique of farming that requires plants in a forest or woodland to be decimated to create a cultivable expanse of land.

Some of these plants are usually homes to wild chimpanzees. The more they are cut down, the deeper into the forests they would migrate, that's if they ever find a place like it.

2. When compared to the other primates such as monkeys, baboons, etc their larger body size, puts them at a disadvantage. This is because when they are placed in a restricted space, they need more food which in turn translates to increased height and weight.

Cheers!

Answer:

Explanation:

EUKARYOTIC CELL STRUCTURE

Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have several membrane-bound organelles. The mitochondria convert chemical energy from food into ATP, which is used to power all cell activities. The number of mitochondrion in a cell is determined by the cell's function. Muscle cells require a lot of energy, so they contain many mitochondria. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a packaging and storage facility. Rough ER contains ribosomes and is responsible for protein synthesis. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes. It is responsible for the production and storage of lipids and steroids, as well as the storage of calcium ions. The Golgi body works with the ER to create complex molecules. In animal cells, the Golgi body also creates the lysosomes that break down food and cell waste.

Like animal cells, plant cells have mitochondria, rough and smooth ER, Golgi bodies, nuclei, and cell membranes. Unlike animal cells, plant cells do not have lysosomes. They also contain two unique organelles – cell walls and chloroplasts. The main function of a cell wall is structure and support. The primary job of chloroplasts is photosynthesis. These organelles contain chlorophyll, which traps solar energy. Plant cells also have a large central vacuole that stores water and helps the cell maintain its shape.
