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.

What is the function of the structure labeled Y?
Rashid [163]

Hey there!

I'm assuming it's pointing to the wall in between the two sections of the heart.

We can go over the function of the blue section and red section of the heart. Though I must admit I am not well versed with hearts of birds, I will assume this is similar to a human one. The blue section <u>receives blood from the body which doesn't have any oxygen left in it,</u> and the red section <u>receives blood from the lungs, newly oxygenated.</u> This sector in between separates these two sections, and separates oxygen-poor blood and oxygen-rich blood.

Thus, your answer is option D.

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions about this specific problem!
