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.

If a cell has 32 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid state, how many chromosomes will it have after Meiosis 1? A. 8 B. 64 C. 32
Lostsunrise [7]

meiosis occur in two phases in the first phase DNA replication occur and amount of DNA becomes doubled without any changes in the chromosomes number and two daughter cells( each 2n) are formed

now in stage 2 each daughter cell undergoes mitosis with the formation of two cells  each with half chromosomes (n)

now 2n =32

n=32/2=16

WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST GET A BRAINLY!!!!Provide a reason why no 2 communities are ever the same. Support your answer with an exam
Advocard [28]

Answer:

No two communities are the same because each one has something specific to them whether it is house structure, rules of the community, how big the community is, and the people that live there.

Explanation:

A great example of this is Weston, FL and Pembroke Pines, FL. In Weston you will find higher class people living there such as celebrities and athletes. The best community to use as a comparison is Botanica Weston. There are mansions in that neighborhood along with many sport icons living there. In Pembroke Pines, it is more of a family based city. In the community Pembroke Falls, you will see more family type houses and a large clubhouse with a pool, game room, and event room to host parties in. Each community has a different identity and no two communities are the same.
