Interpretation:
The molecules that is impossible has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Atoms of the element are the smallest particle that exists which has the properties of the element. If a group of atoms that is relatively small but bound together means it is known as molecule.
Molecules can be classified into various types. Diatomic molecule is a type of molecule that contains two atoms. The two atoms may be of same element or different element. Triatomic molecule is a type of molecule that contains three atoms. The three atoms may be from a same element or different element. This series goes on like this as tetraatomic, pentaatomic molecules etc.
If the molecules are to be classified on basis of observation then two types can be given. Homoatomic molecules are the ones that have the atoms of same kind in the molecule. Molecules that contains same type of atoms in it has to be an element. Heteroatomic molecule is the one that contains two or more kinds of atoms in a molecule.

Identify each component of the molecule, highlight any charges and point out where in relation to a biological membrane these components would be located.arrow_forwardExplain why entropy increases when a lipid bilayer forms from phospholipid molecules.arrow_forwardOften, complex molecules are described in terms of their atomic masses. But what is more relevant in biology is how they take up space. (For proteins, their shapes are particularly important.) Let's see if we can get an approximate idea of the physical size of a protein molecule by doing various estimations. An important molecule in the internal mechanisms of cells is Actin. This is measured as having a mass of about 42 kDa (= 42,000 Daltons, where 12 Daltons is defined as the mass of a carbon atom). Let's see if we can estimate how big it is using very crude estimates. Of course eventually we will want to know how big it actually is and what its shape is, but getting a scale would help us determine what measurement tools might be appropriate. In order to estimate the size of Actin, we'll first make an estimate of how many atoms it has, then, using the average size of an atom, we'll consider different models of how it might be arranged to get an idea of its size. A. We could look up…arrow_forward
