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.

A planet has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. Find the weight of a 65.0 kg person at 1000 km above the sur
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the weight of a person, we use the formula:

w=mg     ....(1)

where,

w = weight of an object

m = mass of the person = 65kg

g = acceleration due to the gravity of the planet

For the calculation of weight, we need to first find the acceleration due to gravity and for that we use the formula:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where, g = acceleration due to gravity = ?m/s^2

G = Universal gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

M = mass of the planet = 5.97\times 10^{24}kg

r = distance of the person from the planet = 6.38\times 10^6m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

g=\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11}kgm/s^2.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg)}{(6.38\times 10^6m)^2}\\\\g=9.782m/s^2

Putting this value in equation 1, we get:

w=65kg\times 9.782m/s^2=635.83N

Hence, the weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.

Mold is made up of many fungi cells. Mold would be considered what type of organism?.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Mold is considered a multicellular organism, made up of many fungi cells. Thus the correct answer is option (C) Multicellular Organism.

Multicellular organisms are made up of many cells thus it is different from unicellular organisms.

Some organisms, such as slime molds and social amoebae of the genus Dictyostelium, have both uni- and multicellular structures. These include every type of animal, as well as most fungi, terrestrial plants, and algae.

Colonies of identical individuals that come together to form organisms are called colonies. However, it can be difficult to distinguish between "colonial protists" and "real multicellular organisms" because the terms are interchangeable (colonial protists are occasionally referred to as "pluricellular").

A fungus with many cells is called mold. It is made up of hyphal filaments, which can group together to form mycelia. A mycelium is a collection of mycelia, and these structures make up the thallus, or body, of the mold.

The complete question is:

Mold is made up of many fungi cells. Mold would be considered what type of organism?

A. unicellular

B. prokaryotic

C. multicellular
