Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

Option). They have a double-bonded oxygen in different locations.

Explanation:

Both glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, having molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆.

Glucose and fructose are different sugars, aldose and ketose respectively, due to the different position of carbonyl group (double bonded oxygen with carbon or C =  O group).  

In glucose, the oxygen atom makes double bonds with last carbon atom of the chain, which means carbonyl group shows an aldehyde group. Thus, it is an aldose sugar.

In fructose, the oxygen makes double bonds with an internal carbon atom and represents a ketone group. Thus, it is a ketose sugar.

Thus, the correct answer is third option.

When the comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, was introduced into the Black Sea, its population exploded to 500 comb jellies per cubic
nikitadnepr [17]

The answer is invasive species.


Invasive species are species that are not native to specific ecosystem, but they have a capability to spread widely through the ecosystem, This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 

<span>After being introduced into the Black Sea, they greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have no natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>

This phenomenon, which provides evidence for the big bang theory, is called what?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Doppler Red-Shift Evidence

Explanation:

The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a “bang” occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.
