Answer:

C,D,,B) The molecule is likely a sugar.

Explanation:

The molecule is(hexose) a glucose.It  is a sugar formed as  the products of photosynthesis.It is also a carbohydrate because all sugars are CHO,although not all CHO are sugars.It is the smallest  components of cell membranes.Protein are the largest components based on molecular mass,while phospholipids are the largest components.

The three major elements in the molecule are Carbon.Hydrogen  and Oxygen. The general formula of carbohydrate is Cx(H2O)y. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1.Thus the hydrate refers to the water content.

Sugar as monosaccharide glucose is the simplest form with general molecular  formula of (CH2O)n  where may be n = 3 to 6. In glucose n=6,and it is called Hexose. Therefore the  molecule of glucose is C6H1206 in ratio 1:2:1.

The arrangement of glucose could be in straight chain or ring structure,Hexose sugar of glucose  and pentose can be ring structure.They have C-H chain length long enough to form ring structure.

In  glucose this can either be alpha or beta ring structure. Therefore the molecule is either the alpha or beta-glucose ring.

olasank [31]

Answer:

Cell organelle

Explanation:

The cell organelle is the small organ-like structure present inside the cell in the cytoplasm.

Different types of cell organelles are present in the cell which performs specific functions like of storage, of digestion of biomolecules like lysosomes, of protein synthesis and many others.

The organelles are usually enclosed by either a single phospholipid membrane like in lysosomes, Golgi apparatus or two lipid layers like in nucleus and chloroplast.

Thus, cell organelle is the correct answer.
