A carbohydrate is an organic compound such as sugar or starch, and is used to store energy. Like most organic compounds, carbohydrates are built of small, repeating units that form bonds with each other to make a larger molecule. In the case of carbohydrates, the small repeating units are called monosaccharides.
<span>Valence is defined as number of electrons that are present in the outermost orbital. Oxygen is in the 16th column of the periodic table and the total number of valance electrons is determined by units place digit of the column position which is 6 for oxygen. The outermost orbital is the high energy level and there are two in that orbit. So the valance is +2.</span>

Explanation:
1. Human and apes are evolutionarily closely related based on the analysis of their DNA sequences.
2. Wings of bats and birds serve the same function and are analogous structure.
3. Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in structures in similar species.
4. Fossils demonstrate that during the evolution of the whale, the whale moved from land to the sea.
5. The human tailbone and appendix are vestigial organs.
6. The homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from the common ancestor.
7. Comparative embryology is the study of similarities and differences in the embryo of different species.
8. The forelimb of all the mammals has basic bone structure.
9. Scientists who find and study fossils are called paleontologists.
