Molecules: when atoms join up, sentence 16
A water molecule has 3 atoms, a sugar molecule 45, and the DNA in one of your cells has billions; stretched out it would be about two metres long, but it is extremely thin and tightly coiled and packed.
Who acts: water molecule, DNA · What happens: have, stretch out, be · To what, where: 3 atoms, billions
This is a sentence of the lesson «Molecules: when atoms join up» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (water molecule, DNA), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
