single-celled
in single-celled organisms they perform activities such as eating and reproducing in just one cell.
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:
Explanation: Primary succession occurs when new land is formed or bare rock is exposed, providing a habitat that can be colonized for the first time. For example, primary succession may take place following the eruption of volcanoes, such as those on the Big Island of Hawaii. As lava flows into the ocean, new rock is formed.
<span>My pea plant has an unknown genotype for flowers, whether it has two dominant traits for white flowers (WW) or one dominant and one recessive (Ww) leading to white flowers; therefore I am doing a testcross in order to determine the genotype of my pea plant. The best plant to do this with is one that has a phenotype of purple flowers (ww) - that is, it is homozygous for the recessive trait.
If I use a homozygous recessive plant, I know exactly what its genotype is. I don't have to worry about whether it's got one or two dominant alleles; I know that at least half of my alleles are going to be the recessive w.
This makes identifying the offspring's genotype very simple. If I find that the offspring have at least some purple flowers among them, I know that my original plant had to be Ww; that is it had to have one dominant and one recessive allele for the flower color gene. If, however, all of the offspring are white flowers, I know that my original pea plant had both dominant alleles (WW).</span>
Answer:
1. Ribose (type of sugar found in ATP and ADP molecules)
2. The 3 phosphate groups (Energy is stored in the 3 phosphate groups and in order to bring the stored energy to use, the last phosphate bond breaks and energy is released)
3. ATP has a higher energy potential than ADP (This is cuz, ATP has 3 phosphate groups and ADP has 2 phosphate groups)
Hope this helps!
