Answer:
C. Nucleotides
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are macromolecules which are polymers of nucleotides. There are two types of nucleic acids namely: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids.
A nucleotide is made up of three components:
- A phosphate group
- A five carbon sugar called pentose sugar. In RNA the sugar is ribose sugar and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose sugar.
- Nitrogenous bases: There are four different types of bases in DNA: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. In RNA thymine is replaced by uracil. Adenine and guanine are purines whereas cytosine, thymine and uracil are pyrimidines.
Nitrogenous base and sugar together are called nucleoside and when phosphate is also attached then it is called nucleotide.
Answer and Explanation:
An acid has a pH that is less than 7. A base has a pH that is greater than 7. Something that has a pH of 7 is neutral, but since it doesn't seem that the question is asking about neutral, you can ignore that for this problem.
Situation 1: Base
Situation 2: Acid
Situation 3: Acid
Situation 4: Base
Situation 5: Acid
Situation 6: Base
A. Water directly out of the tap has a pH of 7.2. When you add carbon dioxide (blow into the water), you get a pH of 5.1. This means that the addition of carbon dioxide makes water more acidic.
B. The most basic solution will have the highest pH. This means that it will be water with bleach added to it.
C. The most acidic solution will have the lowest pH. This means that it will be water with instant coffee.
Answer:
To survive. Drinking is very important and is required for animals and organisms to survive. It also keeps us hydrated.
Here is a hint, mitosis is the division of cells.
Answer:
Earth's atmosphere filters out harmful radiation from the sun.
Explanation:
The sun is earth's star and sunlight helps light up and warm the earth and also helps in the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight on the other hand, produces harmful rays called Ultraviolet radiation or UV rays.
These ultraviolet radiation is dangerous to our skin and ultimately our body as a whole. Fortunately for us, the earth's atmosphere has a protective layer called the Ozone layer. The Ozone layer serves to filter out and block the harmful ultraviolet radiation and prevent it from reaching the earth, thereby protecting us.
Sadly though, the Ozone layer is getting depleted by human activities which emit harmful gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Activities such as oil drilling, automobile emissions, destruction of forests etc. These activities affect the Ozone layer leading to it's gradual disappearance and letting in the harmful UV rays. A phenomenon referred to as global warming.
