Question

the models show the chemical structures of an amino acid and a monosaccharide. complete the table to compare these structures. amino acid monosaccharide is a building block of cellulose contains carbon has carbon atoms arranged in a ring

Explanation:

Step1: Recall cellulose composition

Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of glucose (a monosaccharide) units. Amino - acids are building blocks of proteins. So, for "Is a building block of cellulose", amino - acid is no and monosaccharide is yes.

Step2: Analyze carbon content

Both amino - acids and monosaccharides are organic compounds and contain carbon. So, for "Contains carbon", both are yes.

Step3: Examine carbon - atom arrangement

The given amino - acid has a linear carbon - atom arrangement, while the monosaccharide has carbon atoms arranged in a ring. So, for "Has carbon atoms arranged in a ring", amino - acid is no and monosaccharide is yes.

Answer:

	Amino acid	Monosaccharide
Contains carbon	Yes	Yes
Has carbon atoms arranged in a ring	No	Yes
