Answer: atoms
Explanation:
All matter is made up of smaller indivisible particles called atoms. These atoms are the smallest units of matter ACCORDING to the Dalton's Atomic theory.
Molecules are combined atoms, while cells and phospholipids are complex combination of atoms.
Therefore, atoms is the answer
I just took a test with this question and got the answer wrong for saying ethane. The correct answer is propane.
Answer:
The answer is E. All of the statements describe the anomeric carbon.
Explanation:
When a sugar switches from its open form to its ring form, the carbon from the carbonyl (aldehyde if it is an aldose, or a ketone in the case of a ketose) suffers a nucleophilic addition by one of the hydroxyls in the chain, preferably one that will form a 5 or 6 membered ring after the reaction.
As such, the anomeric carbon will have two oxygens attached (The original one and the one that bonded when the ring closed).
It will be chiral, given that it has 4 different groups attached. (-OR,-OH,-H and -R, where R is the carbon chain).
The hydroxyl group can be in any position (Above of below the ring), depending on with side the addition took place. (See attachment)
It is the carbon of the carbonyl in the open-chain form of the sugar, because it is the only one that can react with the Hydroxyls.
