"Covalent bonds link carbon atoms together in long chains that form the skeletal framework for organic molecules. These carbon skeletons may vary in:
-Length
-Shape
-Number and Location of double bonds
-Other elements covalently bonded to available sites
This variation in carbon skeletons contributes to the complexity and diversity of organic molecules..."

What is the relationship between carbon skeletons and functional groups?
Both carbon skeletons and functional groups put together, add, or have atomos of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Different arrangements of atoms bonded to a carbon skeleton can form functional groups, wich give specific properties to molecules.
Which of the following carbon skeletons represents a carboxylic acid?
Mono-protic carboxylic acids are generally represented as R-COOH
How does pH levels affect coral reefs?
pH is important for many reasons, but for coral reefs proper pH is especially important because of how corals grow. Corals grow by depositing calcium carbonate as part of their skeletons, and calcium carbonate does not like to for (precipitate) at lower pH. A pH of above 8 makes it much easier for corals to lay down there calcium carobonate skeletons, and thus makes it possible for them to grow. That is how pH affects coral reefs.
How are carbon skeletons involved in biosynthesis and decomposition reactions?
Decomposition is related to the carbon cycle by something is decomposed it goes into the ground and puts carbon in the ground and plants and animals need carbon.Decomposition is related to the carbon cycle by something is decomposed it goes into the ground and puts carbon in the ground and plants and animals need carbon.Decomposition is related to the carbon cycle by something is decomposed it goes into the ground and puts carbon in the ground and plants and animals need carbon.
What are large deposits of diatom remains called?
The cell wall of diatoms are very thick and remain long after the diatoms die. when the cell wall remains of many dead diatoms clump together, they form a crumbly, abrasive substance called diatomaceous earth or diatomite.============================================The rock type called Chalk is also made of diatom skeletons.

What are the basic structure of a hydrocarbon and why these molecules are hydrophobic?
Hydrocarbons = Molecules containing only carbon and hydrogen - Are major components of fossil fuels produced from the organic remains of organisms living millions of years ago, though they are not prevalent in living organisms. - Have a diversity of carbon skeletons which produce molecules of various lengths and shapes. - As in hydrocarbons, a carbon skeleton is the framework for the large diverse organic molecules found in living organisms. Also, some biologically important molecules may have regions consisting of hydrocarbon chains (e.g. fats). - Hydrocarbon chains are hydrophobic because the C-C and C-H bonds are nonpolar.
