All life that we know of is based on carbon. Carbon's ability to form many chemical bonds is an important characteristic that allows it to form the basis of life. Identify two other elements that can probably also form a large number of bonds and that probably have similar properties to carbon.

Answer 1
Answer:

Starch and cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no enzyme that can break it down.

A stone falls from a ledge and takes 8 seconds to hit the ground. The stone has an original velocity of 0 m/s. How tall is the ledge? A. 313.6 meters B. 78.4 meters C. 39.2 meters D. 1,254.4 meters

Answers

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "D. 1,254.4 meters." A stone falls from a ledge and takes 8 seconds to hit the ground. The stone has an original velocity of 0 m/s. The ledge has the height of D. 1,254.4 meters

By the way, on the Penn Foster test, C. 1,254.4 meters is incorrect.

Which Of The Following Statements Are True?A) The north pole of a bar magnet will attract the south pole of another bar magnet.
B) Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole.
C) Earth's geographic south pole is also a magnetic south pole.
D) The north poles of two bar magnets will attract each other. Scientists have evidence that single isolated magnetic poles, called magnetic monopoles, exist.
E) The south poles of two bar magnets will repel each other.

Answers

Answer:

A) The north pole of a bar magnet will attract the south pole of another bar magnet.

B) Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole.

E) The south poles of two bar magnets will repel each other.

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This means that if we break a magnet in half, we will have two magnets, where each new magnet will have a new south pole, and a new north pole.

This is because for classical physics, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.

In this context,  Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.  

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.  

Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.  

And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).
