Answer:

Glucose

Explanation:

Glucose, also called dextrose is one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars or monosaccharides. Glucose is derived from the Greek word 'glykys' meaning “sweet”. It has the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is commonly found in fruits and honey and is the major free sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. It is the source of energy in cell function, and the regulation of its metabolism is of great importance. Molecules of starch, the major energy-reserve of carbohydrate of plants, consist of thousands of linear glucose units. Another major compound composed of glucose is cellulose, which is also linear. Dextrose is the molecule D-glucose.

Glucose is composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1 as typified by its formula. It is known for its sweet taste. It can be combined with fructose in table sugar.

Kat is investigating a compound and sees that it has even stronger hydrogen bonds than water. What can kat conclude is most like
Sidana [21]

Answer:

It is higher than that of water

Explanation:

Because we now know that through experimentation, the new compound has a higher and stronger hydrogen bonds than water, the specific heat capacity will be higher.

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass of as substance by 1°C.

  • This property is a physical property of matter .
  • Most physical properties are a function of intermolecular forces in a compound.
  • Since hydrogen bond is a very strong intermolecular force, the specific heat capacity will be stronger for the compound discovered.
  • This implies that it will require more heat to raise the temperature of a unit mass of this compound by 1°C.

Various plant and animal species are on the verge of extinction.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

  1: A.) adapted

  2: A.) habitat destruction

Explanation:

Some (few) animals are capable of adjusting their behaviors in relation to human activity and the changes humans make in their habitat. Most are so well adapted to the details of their habitat that they are incapable of surviving when those details change.

"Because all organisms are <u>adapted</u> to their native habitat, human activities that result in <u>habitat destruction</u> are a major reason for their extinction."

_____

<em>Comment on human activities</em>

My friendly local rodent exterminator observed that rodent activity has picked up substantially, since so much human activity has been curtailed by quarantine orders.

1.Which statement best describes scientific laws
gtnhenbr [62]
In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.

The reason why  I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.


One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.

The measurements below were made on four different balances:
fredd [130]

Answer:

d. ii.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the displayed decimal placed by each balance, we can notice that:

i. Displays 1 decimal place.

ii. Displays 2 decimal places.

iii. Displays 4 decimal places.

iv. Displays 3 decimal places.

Thus, since the measured-out masses have two decimal places each, we infer that the used balance was d. ii as it displays two decimal places.

Best regards!
