How do plants get carbon dioxide?
Most plants have special structures on their leaves called stomates. Carbon dioxide is drawn into the leaf tissue through these pore-like structures.
Element In Diamonds And Charcoal?
Carbon is common in both diamond and charcoal.
What trait shared with a common ancestor?
Homologous structures
Why do lighter colored candles burn faster than darker colors?
Perhaps the yellow candle contains hydrocarbons with a smaller carbon backbone. The smaller the carbon backbone, the faster the molecule (and hotter) will burn. Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane.... Octane, Ethane (used in creation of ethanol) burn hotter than octane, but are all used for fuel. The larger (longer) the carbon backbone, the less volitile the hydrocarbon. See Web Links See the Web Links for "Wikipedia: List or inorganic compounds" to the bottom for the answer. Any chemical compound without a carbon is an inorganic compound. In general, a compound that contains a carbon atom is an "organic" compound. There are exceptions: oxides of carbon like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide; salts of carbon, like cyanide, cyanate, and thiocyante. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inorganic_compounds_by_element for a detailed listing inorganic compounds by element. A few examples of common inorganic compounds: Carbon Dioxide, CO2 Hydrogen Chloride, HCl (when dissolved in water becomes Hydrochloric acid, aka stomach acid) Sulphuric acid, H2SO4
What are the most common gasses?
Nitrogen, Oxygen,Hydrogen, and Carbon Di-oxide are the common Gases in the Atmosphere.
What are the structures of a phospholipid?
Glycerol backbone, with fatty acids attached to C1 and C2 and a phosphate attached at the last carbon. Attached to it is a base or an alcohol.
What is the backbone of life?
The answer is carbon!
The backbone of carbon in a carbohydrate comes from?
glucose
What element is known as the backbone of life?
carbon
How does the backbone sugar differ between DNA and RNA?
The backbone sugar of RNA is ribose, which is a five carbon carbohydrate. When the oxygen atom from carbon number 2 is lost, it gives deoxy ribose, which is the backbone sugar for DNA.
Which element is the backbone of all living organisms?
carbon
Can carbon form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms?
Indeed they can. A common example of Carbon covalently bonding with carbon is in what we refer to as Giant Covalent Structures, which are multiple of an atom bonded together in a set, lattice-like shape. Examples of giant covalent structures made from carbon are diamond where the atoms are arranged in a pyramid shape, and graphite, where they are arranged in flat layers.
What is an unsatured fat?
A fat molecule is made of a chain of carbon atoms making a "backbone" and a bunch of hydrogens along the outside. In a saturated fat, the carbon backbone has the maximum number of hydrogens it can accept. In an unsaturated fat, the carbon backbone has made one or more double bonds within the backbone and so have less than the maximum number of hydrogens around the outside.
What two skeletal structures protect brain and spinal cord?
the skull and the backbone
What type of atom forms the central backbone of the glucose molecule?
carbon atoms forms the backbone of glucose molecule
What atom forms the backbone of most biological molecules?
Carbon
What is the Element that provides the backbone for all organic molecules?
Carbon.
