The release of pyrophosphate from the incoming nucleotide, and then hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate provides energy for the addition of nucleotide onto a DNA strand.

Nucleotides are linked together by a condensation event that yields a tiny, stable molecule. But the released molecule is pyrophosphate, not water. A good amount of free energy is released when water is added to pyrophosphate.

The high-energy link between the ejected beta and gamma phosphates stores the energy for each incoming nucleotide's addition. The subsequent hydrolysis that occurs drives the process. A substantially greater quantity of energy is released when two phosphates are separated into individual phosphates.

Dimas [21]

Answer: B.) More research is needed to reach a conclusion, including related variables

Explanation:

As it is evident that oxygen is necessary element for living beings. It is required for the process of respiration, in which the food particles are broken down in the presence of oxygen into simpler substances.

Applying this knowledge to the given study suggests that all organisms require oxygen which can be less or more depending upon their habitat either in the shallow waters or in the depths. This conclusion is invalid and requires more explanatory approach which can be achieved by more research so as to derive a valid conclusion in which the two variables oxygen and relative habitats can be compared.
