Answer : 2. "Cellulose"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Cellulose Explanation: Carbohydrates are also called as saccharides are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates are: * a source of energy for the body e.g. glucose and a store of energy, e.g. starch in plants * building blocks for polysaccharides (giant carbohydrates), e.g. cellulose in plants and glycogen in the human body * components of other molecules eg DNA, RNA, glycolipids, glycoproteins, ATP Types: 1. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and 2. Disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars. 3. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large called Polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.

Answer : 1. "numbers of neutrons"
Explanation :
Answer: A) numbers of neutrons Explanation: Isotopes are variations of an element that have the same charge as the original element, but a different mass, which is caused by either more/less neutrons in the nucleus.

Answer : 2. "degradation"
Explanation :
The conversion of ferric chloride (FeCl₃) to ferrous chloride (FeCl₂) is not specifically called "degradation." Instead, it is a type of chemical reaction known as a reduction reaction. In this process, ferric chloride (FeCl₃), which contains iron in the +3 oxidation state, gains electrons and is reduced to ferrous chloride (FeCl₂), where iron is in the +2 oxidation state. The reduction reaction involves the gain of electrons, leading to a decrease in the oxidation state of iron.
