What is the relationship between nucleic acids and nucleotides?

Chemistry

maw [93]1 year ago

The nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acid.

The nucleic acids are the macro molecules. They are two types- DNA and RNA. The nucleic acid, DNA consists of nucleotide which are monomers of the DNA. The nucleotides have three components such as pentose sugar, nitrogen bases, and phosphate.

They are the backbone of DNA. DNA is the polymer of nucleotide, and this DNA is coming under nucleic acids. The nucleotides form DNA, and DNA forms the nucleic acid. They are interlinked with each other.

Nucleic acids are the center for storing all the information. The deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the center for storing all the genetic information.

The genetic material is inherited from the parents to the children. The characters are transferred from one generation to another.

The characters such as hair color, hair type, eye color are some of the genetic information that is carried from one generation to another via nucleic acids.

Nucleotide is the basic unit of nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) which store the genetic code of the cell.

It consists of sugar base (ribose or deoxyribose), nitrogenous base (A, T, G, C and U), and phosphate group.

Nucleotides (specially ATP) provides the energy for most of the cellular processes.

Therefore, with the above statements we got to know that both nucleic acid and nucleotides are genetically modified.

12. Compare and contrast hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Explanation:

Van der Waals interactions occur between any two or more molecules. They are caused by a fluctuation in electron density, as electrons are not actually fixed in a shell, but actually freely moving as a 'cloud of electron density'. This means that sometimes one end of a molecule can become more partially negatively charged as all electrons move to that side, and conversely it can attract the more partially positive end of a molecule (that has little electrons).

Hydrogen bonds only occur between molecules that contain oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine bonded to a hydrogen atom.

Hydrogen bonding is also the strongest intermolecular force there is, but not strong in comparison to ionic and covalent bonds. Therefore, hydrogen bonds are much stronger than Van der Waals forces. Hydrogen bonds only form if oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine are bonded to a hydrogen atom, as they have the greatest electronegativity differences (look at an electronegativity table), and when the overall molecule is polar (have unequal charges). This allows the molecule to be able to attract another molecule from one of the bonded atoms to a hydrogen atom.

All oxygen atoms have eight protons, and most have eight neutrons as well. What is the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has
denis-greek [22]

Answer: The mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons is 17 and isotope is called as Oxygen-17.

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

For a neutral atom:

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of proton

Atomic number= Number of protons = 8

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Given: Number of neutrons = 9

Thus mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 8 + 9 = 17.

Isotopes are elements which have same atomic number but different mass number.

Thus the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons is 17 and isotope is called as Oxygen-17.

What do you call a group of tissues that perform a specific action
Temka [501]
Tissues are groups of similar cells that have a common function. An organ is a structure that is composed of at least two or more tissue types and performs a specific set of functions for the body. Many organs working together to accomplish a common purpose is called an organ system. Hope it helps

Identify the molecule that effuses the fastest ch4 co ar or co2
Ksju [112]
<span>CH4 will effuse the fastest. The speed of effusion is proportional to the speed of the gas molecules with faster molecules effusing fast than slower molecules. And the speed of the molecules at any given temperature is inversely related to the mass of the molecules with lighter molecules being faster. So let's take a look at the mass of the candidate molecules and see which is lighter and therefore faster. CH4 - Molar mass is about 16. CO - Molar mass is about 28 Ar - Molar mass is about 40 CO2 - Molar mass is about 44 If the 4 options, CH4 (methane) is by far the lightest, and therefore the fastest, so will effuse faster than the other 3 gasses.</span>
