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

Biology

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.

In one to three sentences, describe what happens during the regeneration stage of the Calvin cycle.
meriva
In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADPH+

Match the creature to its distribution pattern.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct match would be:

  • Swallow - migration
  • Tiger - sparse distribution—scarce
  • Devil’s Hole pupfish - local endemic
  • Humpback whale - sparse distribution—widely dispersed

Swallows are small migratory birds belonging to the family Hirundinidae found all around the world. Migrating swallows can cover around 200 miles in a day.

Tiger has become endangered species due to excessive hunting and habitat loss. It is estimated that only 3800 tigers are left in the wild.

Devil’s Hole pupfish is a species of a fish only found in Devils Hole which is a  geothermal aquifer-fed pool located in Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge  in Nevada city of the United States

The humpback whale or <em>Megaptera novaeangliae</em> is a species of baleen whale which is widely distributed in all major oceans including Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans.

In what way does the interior surface of a cell membrane of a resting (nonconducting) neuron differ from the external environmen
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: option C) negatively charged and contains less sodium

Explanation:

In the absence of any stimulus, a neuron is said to be resting. During this time, more positively charged potassium ions (K+) than sodium ions (Na+) occupy the interior of its cell membrane, whereas more sodium ions than potassium occupies the exterior - making the cell membrane to be electrically Polarized with net positive charge outside and a net negative charge inside the cell membrane.

Thus, the interior is negatively charged and contains less sodium ions
