Answer:

Explanation:

monosaccharide is derived from mono, meaning "one", and saccharide, meaning "sugar". The common monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Each simple sugar has a cyclic structure and is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in ratios of 1:2:1 respectively. Although each sugar mainly exists as a cyclic compound, it is important to note that they are all in equilibrium to a small extent with their linear forms.

While galactose and glucose are composed of six-membered rings, fructose has only five carbon atoms bonded to each other in ring form.

Where is the water cycle? Describe what happens.

suter [353]

Answer: The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the process of how water moves through Earth's environment. In general, water evaporates from oceans, then it condenses in the atmosphere as water vapor cools. When enough water gathers in clouds, it precipitates back to the Earth's surface as rain, hail, snow or sleet.

Briefly explain the relationship between cells, organs and tissues

Mazyrski [523]

Answer/Explanation:

Cells of a similar type are organized together to make tissues. Different types of tisues come together to perform a similar function as part of organs.

For example, take the organ the stomach. There are various tissues that make up the stomach, including, for example, mucosa, and muscle tissue.

The mucosa tissue of the stomach is made up of secretory cells such as parietal cells, which secrete hydrochloric acid, and foveolar cells which produce mucus that protects the lining of the stomach.

Answer - D. (The genetic code)

The genetic code is the nucleotide base sequence on DNA (with which information is encoded within genetic material). The nucleotide base sequence<span> codes for a sequence of amino acids, which are in turn used by living cells as the basic building blocks of proteins.</span>
