Answer:

Structurally, proteins are different from carbohydrates because all proteins contain nitrogen (option C).

Explanation:

The basis of the chemical composition of proteins is carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, so all proteins have nitrogen in their structure. Some proteins also possess phosphorus and sulfur atoms, among others.

Proteins are biomolecules formed by the union of multiple amino acids through carboxyl-amino bonds, called petidic bonds. Their content of nitrogen and other atoms in their structure is what makes them different from carbohydrates.

The other options are not possible because:

  • <em>Only some proteins contain </em><u><em>iron</em></u><em> in their composition.</em>
  • <u><em>Potassium and helium</em></u><em> are not part of the protein structure. </em>

Short definition of amoeba​
Dimas [21]
Amoeba: Also ameba. A single-celled (protozoan) organism that constantly changes shape. The word "ameba" is from the Greek "amoibe" meaning "change." Ameba can infect the bowels to cause diarrhea and the liver to cause abscess formation. Here is more information. The definition of an amoeba is a one-celled organism, common in water and soil, possessing no set cell organs, structure, or defining shape. An example of an amoeba is an invisible organism called Entamueba histolytica which is found in tropical areas that are unclean, and causes the deadly disease dysentery. Hope this helps!

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Photosynthetic process

Explanation:

Cellulose, a tough, fibrous and water-insoluble polysaccharide in the cell walls of plants. It is the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth and also the main component of a plants structure, conferring rigidity on the plants' cells.

Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharides arranged in fibrils which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

All plants are made up of polysaccharides, a very large sugar molecule made of hundreds or thousands of single sugar units (monosaccharide). Cellulose is composed of a long chain of at least 500 glucose molecules joined together by B-1,4- linkages.

Green plants create this simple sugar molecules (glucose) on their own through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the chemical combination or fixation of C02 and water by the utilization of energy from the absorption of visible light. This glucose produced is a building carbohydrate that combines with other sugars to form the plant structure (as they make up part of cellulose) and store energy.

If the integument of an angiosperm seed contains cells with 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in the
OleMash [197]

Answer:

30

Explanation:

The seed of an angiosperm is formed as a result of fertilization (fusion of sperm in pollens and the ova from ovary). According to the question, the cells of the seed which will grow into the plant contains 20 chromosomes. Seeds of angiosperms contain a tissue called ENDOSPERM that forms as a result of the unique DOUBLE FERTILIZATION in angiosperms. It occurs when one haploid sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei to form a triploid endospermic structure that serves as food for the growing embryo in the seed.

Now based on the above explanation, the diploid plant cell with 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes (half as much) in its gametes as a result of meiosis. This 10 chromosomes in each gamete (sperm and ovum) fuses to form a diploid zygote with 20 chromosomes, while one haploid sperm cell (10 chromosomes) also fuses with two haploid polar nuclei (10 chromosomes each) to form a triploid endosperm with 30 chromosomes i.e. 10+10+10.
