ANSWER
The correct answer is A
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
From the equation
<u>L.H.S.</u>
Fe = 1
O =2
<u> R.H.S</u>
Fe =2
O =3
Now, let try to balance the oxygen atoms first,
To do this, we know the Least Common Multiples of 2 and 3 is 6
To get 6 atoms of oxygen at L.H.S multiply 2 by 3 and on the R.H.S, multiply 3 by 2
L.H.S.
R.H.S
This means that, 3 should be in front of at the L.H.S and 2 should come before
in the R.H.S of the equation
Now, we have
L.H.S.
Fe = 1
O = 6
<u>R.H.S</u>
Fe =4
O =6
The equation is still not balanced since Fe is not balance
The Least Common Multiple of 1 and 4 is 4
Which means that we need to multiply 1 by 4 at the L.H.S and 4 by 1 at the R.H.S
L.H.S.
R.H.S
We now, have
<u>L.H.S. </u>
Fe= 4
O=6
<u>R.H.S</u>
Fe =4
O=6
Hence the balanced equation is

Answer:
Explanation:
Glucose is a sugar, highly soluble in water because it has lots of polar hydroxyl groups (-OH) which can form hydrogen-bonds with water molecules. These types of bonds are intermolecular forces which are present in other macromolecules like the DNA or proteins.
Cholesterol and triglycerids are lipids. These have long chains of hydrocarbons, which are non polar and therefore insoluble in water.
Blood is made of a solid and a liquid part. <u>The solid part contains cells</u>. <u>The liquid part (plasma), is made of water, salts, and proteins</u>. Glucose and cholesterol/triglycerids travel in the liquid part of the blood, in an aqueous environment. Because the lipids are not soluble, they need to travel with a carrier protein that keeps them protected from the surrounding water.
