Lilit [14]2 years ago
6 0

The statement that is false about base stacking is; B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.

<h3>What is the truth about Base Stacking?</h3>

Base stacking is defined as a common arrangement of nucleobases that are found in the three dimensional structure of nucleic acids. Bases (or base pairs) are planar, and these planes stack at contact distance , excluding water and maximizing Van der Waals interactions.

Looking at the given options, the only one that can be said to be false about the defined base stacking above as regards nucleic acids is option B.

The missing options are;

A. Stacking interactions occur when two or more bases are positioned with their rings parallel to each other.

B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.

C. Stacking involves a combination of van der Waals and dipole-dipole interactions between bases.

D. Base stacking helps to minimize contact of the bases with water.

E. Base stacking interactions are important in stabilizing the three-dimensional structure of nucleic acids.

Why do you think the ecological footprint of bangladesh is so small why is it so large for people in the united states?
EleoNora [17]

The ecological footprint of the average people of Bangladesh  is 0.5 global hectares per person which much less than  average of the world ( 2.84 global hectares per capita ) .it indicates that a low purchasing power of Bangladesh . less consumption means less production .also there are few industries in Bangladesh. This is the reason the ecological footprint of Bangladesh is so small .

The United states ecological footprint is larger than that of other countries because per capita consumption of energy and a wide range of goods of all kinds is greater . wastes ,including carbon dioxide ,are greater as ell , adding to the relative size of the footprint . this is the reason the ecological footprint of the people of United states is large .

Hence ,the ecological footprint of Bangladesh  is so small and the ecological footprint of United states is so large .

<h3>What is ecological footprint ?</h3>

The ecological footprint is a method promoted by the global footprint network to measure human demand on natural capital , i.e. the quantity of nature it takes  to support people or an economy .

It tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system .

The ecological footprint is the only metric that measures how much nature and how much nature we use .The footprint helps : countries to improve sustainability and well-being , local leaders to optimize public project investments , individuals to understand their impact on the planet.

Why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? to replace the salts and other ion
Helga [31]
The correct answer is to accurately measure core temperature.
The tube seen entering the reporter's nose is a thermistor which is used to measure the core temperature of the body with very high levels of accuracy. The tube reaches the esophagus, which is one of the most preferred locations for measuring the core temperature.
The core body temperature is the operating temperature of the human body and it refers to the temperature of the deeper structures of the body instead of the peripheral tissues. 
The esophagus is close to the left ventricle of the heart, it has a deep body location and a quick response to any changes in the body temperature.
