Why is it wrong to say that bread is a compound?
tatiyna

Explanation:

Bread cannot be classified as a compound. Compounds are formed when two or more substances are bonded together chemically, however, mixtures are not chemically bonded.

Bread is a mixture of several compounds such as sugars, proteins, lipids and gases along with a culture of organisms or chemical leavEning agaent. Several of these components

Explanation:

Large chains of monomers form biological macromolecules which carry out many essential functions in the body these can include nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. These are organic molecules, meaning they're ringed or long-chain Carbons bonded to the elements oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).

  • Proteins are structural support molecules comprised of long chains of amino acids joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units that are arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and are incorporated into the body’s cells to make up organs muscles signal molecules and an alternative energy source.                                                                 Basic makeup: C, H, O, N, S; polar C, O double bonds and N-H bonding
  • Carbohydrates function to supply energy and support molecules they consist of mainly sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers. They include monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers.                Basic makeup: C, H, O -with many polar OH groups
  • Lipids function as energy storage and chemical messengers, these include fats, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with double bonds and steroids and waxes. However, lipids are comprised of fatty acids and glycerol; they do not contain a fixed set of monomers, and unlike the other biological macromolecules, they are not polymers. The arrangement of hydrophobic heads and hydrophobic fatty acid tails can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.                                                                     Basic makeup: C, H, O; non polar- a triple condensation reaction produces the molecules from a triple hydroxyl (OH) alcohol bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids.

Which of the following scenarios would be most likely to cause a weak point in the aorta to rupture, and why? (2 points)
REY [17]
<span>I believe the answer is,

High systolic, because when the heart pumps, the pressure inside the aorta would be greatest, causing the weak spot to rupture outward.

This indicates high blood pressure that causes rupture of the aorta or aorta dissection.</span>

Which of the following is the correct sequence, going from simplest to most complex, in the levels of structural organization of
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Cellular organization is one of the characteristics of life that states that each living organism is made up cell or more than one cell, that is made up by organization of various components such as chemicals like micro molecule that form the macro molecule and these chemical level structural organization is formed together to make cells and this level of organization makes the tissue which is complex to cell but simpler to organ that is makeup of various together.

The makeup of organs is necessary as organs are the structural level that individuals facilitate the function and make up the organ system that is a complex system made up of organs that are similar in their function. The organism is the most complex of all levels.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

The common ancestors of birds and mammals were very early (stem) reptiles, which almost certainly possessed three- chambered hea
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The four- chambered hearts of birds and mammals are best described as <u>homoplasies.</u>

Explanation:

In evolution, homoplasies are the trait shared in different species despite that their ancestors didn't have it at all.  In other words, these are traits that can be gained or lost during evolution in different lineages independently. For example, wings of birds and wings of bats do the same function (help in flying) but they were not there in the ancestors so both animals developed these structures independently.

In the given example, birds and mammals have four-chambered heart but their ancestors have 3 chamber hearts. They evolved independently and developed 4 chamber heart. This might be due to several reasons. However, their ancestors didn't have the feature so it is an example of homoplasy.
