What features of the element carbon allow it to form the backbone of such a varied array of different compounds?
I don't know I think I was asking you about this 😒
Why almost all food sources are carbon based?
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon based molecules, and those types are excellent for life because they allow for the formation of very large and complex molecules, with a very high number of configurations. Food sources have to be comprised of molecules that can be used by living organisms, and carbon based organic molecules can.
What tool will allow scientists to see patterns of carbon molecules?
You're probably thinking of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope.
What substances will a cell allow in?
A cell will only freely allow in very small molecules such as oxygen, water and carbon dioxide. Larger molecules such as sugars must be transported into the cell through special channels using energy.
Why sulfur is soluble in carbon disulphide but not in water?
SOLUBILITY OF SULPHUR IN CARBON DISULPHIDE:Because carbon disulphide and sulphur both are non polar molecules therefore, sulphur is soluble in carbon disulphide while water is a polar molecule and not allow sulphur to dissolve
How do carbon atoms combine when forming molecules such as glucose or fatty acids?
Carbon atoms combine by sharing electrons in covalent bonds. In glucose, carbon atoms form a ring structure with hydrogen and oxygen atoms attached to each carbon. In fatty acids, carbon atoms form a long chain with a carboxyl group at one end and a methyl group at the other end. These combinations allow for the formation of complex organic molecules with specific properties and functions.
What allow molecules in and out of the nuclear?
Nuclear pores allow molecules in and out
What molecules in your body that allow us to digest complex carbohydrates?
catabolic molecules
Do Pi bonds allow molecules to rotate?
no
What type of molecules allow only certain molecules to pass through it?
semi permeable membranes
What does movement of molecules in a liquid allow the liquid to do?
Flow
How does cellulose fibers absorb water?
The OH ends of the cellulose chain allow for hydrogen bonding with the water molecules. The electrons concentrate around the Carbon side - makes the OH end polar. A more positive end on the H side, and a more negative charge on the carbon side.
