Combination of sugar molecules with other elements

Explanation:

A molecule of sugar is basically constructed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms linked together as hydrocarbons. This hydrocarbon with C-C bonding facilitates sugar molecules to combine with other atoms and form larger molecules like amino acids, nucleotides etc.

Carbon provides four free valence electrons to share and form covalent bonds with other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen etc. Carbon also can link and form long chains of such C-C covalent bond and forms carbon-containing organic compounds.

The carbon, oxygen, hydrogen in sugar molecules combine with nitrogen to form alkaloids and then with sulfur to form amino acids.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins which perform various functions as hormones, antibodies, pigments, structural proteins etc and are highly necessary for a living thing to grow and survive.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

None of the questions asked can be answered completely from the graph provided 

Reason

1) Which source of electricity generation caused the most emissions?: The graph does provide the information of greenhouse gas emission from different sectors like electricity, transport, industry, agriculture, commercial and residential.  Electricity can be generated from several sources like hydrothermal, nuclear, etc. However, information of how these sources contributes towards greenhouse gas emission via electricity sector is not provided in graph

2) What types of industries are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions?: The graph does provides the information about total greenhouse gas emissions from industries. However, individual contribution from different types of industries cannot be answered.

3) Which natural sources of greenhouse gas emissions are shown here?: The graph provides information about greenhouse gases emission only due to human activity like electricity generation, agriculture, etc. and not from natural sources. 

4) Why is agriculture the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions?: The reason for largest emission of greenhouse gas due to agriculture cannot be answer from information provided.

5) What caused the dip in greenhouse gas emissions in transportation after 2007?: The reason for dip in greenhouse gas in transportation cannot be answer from information provided.
