Answer:

i) Glucose

ii) β(1-4) glycosidic bonds.

iii) Oxygen

Explanation:

Cellulose is an important structural carbohydrate found in plants. It forms a major component of the plant cell wall.

Cellulose is a polysaccharide formed by monomers of glucose. These glucose monomers are joined together by covalent bonds called β(1-4) glycosidic bonds, which means that the 1st carbon of one glucose is bound to the 4th carbon of the next glucose. To make this arrangement, every other glucose molecule in cellulose is inverted, which you can see in the diagram.

Glucose monomers contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen only. If you look at the pattern of the molecule (remembering every second glucose is inverted), you can see that Z must be O.

The functional group denoted by Z is oxygen. The OH groups on the glucose from one cellulose chain form hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms on the same or on another chain, holding the chains firmly together and forming very strong molecules - giving cellulose its strength.

What primary event has occurred when a client experiences an ectopic focus?

Andreyy89

Ectopic focus or ectopic pacemaker happens when an excitable group of cells outside the normal sinoatrial node causes premature heartbeat. Sinoatrial node (SA node) is the pacemaker of the heart. Most people experience ectopic focus but persistent occurrence may need the client/patient to visit the doctor. If a client or patient complains of ectopic focus, it is better to consider his/her activity before visiting the clinic. Ask, for example if the client/patient had a vigorous exercise because it might be causing the irregular heartbeat, how often is he/she experiences such irregularity in his/her heartbeat (acute ectopic foci is usually non-life threatening, however, chronic type requires medical help), his/her lifestyle (he/she might be using illegal drugs, smokes and/or drinks alcohol,had too much coffee etc). Again, history taking is very vital.

Which of the following is a clue that a chemical change has taken place?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

During a chemical change, the composition of matter always changes. Four possible clues to chemical change include a transfer of energy, a change in color, the production of a gas, or the formation of a precipitate.

In three to five sentences, explain the effects of acid rain on the environment

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes.

Marcus discovered that sodium (Na) is found in Group 1, Period 3 on the periodic table. Where should Marcus look to find another

Leokris [45]

Answer:

1. A. Group 1

2. B. A chemical change occurred which is evidenced by the change in color of the solution.

3. D. Physical change because the chemical properties of the salt and water remained the same.

4. D. Sphere B will float because it is less dense than water.

5. C. Shredding them into smaller pieces.

6. A. Her model uses eleven white pom-poms.

B. Her model uses twelve black pom-poms.

E. Her model uses eleven yellow pom-poms.

7. B. The liquids have different densities.

8. D. Physical Properties: color, texture Chemical Properties: ability to rust

9. A. Container A will have 1 liter of helium, and container B will have 1 liter of water.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, rows represent the period that they are in, while columns represent the groups that elements are in. Elements in the same group (column) share similar properties. Since Sodium (Na) is found in group 1, elements that are similar in properties would be found in the same group.

A chemical change is marked with a change in color, production of gas, heat, and sometimes smell and light. A chemical change results in new products formed, in which the properties and identities of the reactants change as well because their atoms were rearranged. In this case, the change in color of solution shows that a chemical change had occurred.

Earlier we said that chemical change results in new products, for physical change it does not. The substance will keep its identity. Like in the scenario, the salt and water did mix together, but when they were separated through evaporation, the salt retained its identity and so did the water. The substances involved merely changed phases. So this was a physical change.

If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid, the object will sink. On the other hand, if the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid, it will float.

If water has a density of 1g/cm³, the object that has the lesser density will float. First you solve for the densities of each object and it can be computed using the formula:

D = m/v

where D = density; m = mass; and v = volume

Sphere A:

$d=\dfrac{m}{v} = \dfrac{24g}{19.4cm^3} = 1.23 g/cm^3$

Sphere B:

$d=\dfrac{m}{v} = \dfrac{13.6g}{17.0cm^3} = 0.8g/cm^3$

So as you can see, only Sphere B has a density less or is less dense than water, so only Sphere B will float.

The groundskeeper shredding leaves is an application of physical change. As you can see, the identity of the leaves would be the same if you just shred them. Even if they change in shape and size, the leaves are still leaves, only smaller.

A stable atom has the same number of electrons and protons. The number of protons is represented by the atomic number of an element.

Sodium has an atomic number of 11. This means that there are 11 protons (yellow pom poms) in a sodium atom. Since it is stable, you can also say that there are 11 electrons (White pom poms) as well.

The number of neutrons can be determined by taking a look at the mass number of an atom. The mass number of sodium is 23. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons combined.

23 = p + n

23 = 11 + n

23 - 11 = n

12 = n

The number of neutrons would be 12 (black pom poms).

When two liquids do not mix, this means they are immiscible. The layers are formed because of the difference in density. Remember earlier about density and an object or substance's ability to float? Well it applies here too. The liquid on top is less dense than the one below it, so it floats up and the denser liquid sinks.

Physical properties are things that you can observe using your senses. Chemical properties are properties that you can only observe when chemical structure is changed.

Seat cover has a smooth texture.

Physical because it was determined by touch.

The front basket of the bike is purple.

Physical because it was determined by sight.

The bike is rusted.

Chemical because the metal changed its chemical structure as a result of a reaction.

The sealed containers represent a closed system, or a vacuum where nothing goes in or out. In a closed system, just remember that matter is not created, nor destroyed. Simply put, this means that whatever it started with is what will it end up with.

In container A you have 1 L of helium gas, so since the container is sealed, none escaped. This means that you will end up with the same amount of helium gas as you did before. The same goes for the 1L of water in container B.
