What is the relationship between nucleic acids and nucleotides?

Chemistry

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.

NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!! NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

CH4 - Methane

B2Si - Diboron monosilicide

N2O5 - Dinitrogen pentoxide

CO2 - Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

When it comes to naming covalent compounds, there are several rules.

The name is derived based on the formula. For example, N2O5. The first element is nitrogen. To the name of the element, you add the prefix that tells us how many of its atoms are in the compound. In this case, there are two atoms, which means that the prefix will be <em>di</em>- (dinitrogen). The second element is oxygen. You are supposed to take only the root of the second element's name and then add the prefix denoting the number of its atoms and the suffix <em>-ide</em> (pentoxide). This is how we'll get dinitrogen pentoxide.

The only exception is methane (CH4), which is an organic compound. Organic compounds are named using the IUPAC nomenclature.

It took 25 seconds for a horse to complete a 400 meter race. What was the speed of the horse?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

v = 16 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 400 m

Time taken, t = 25 s

We need to find the speed of the horse. Speed is equal to distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{400\ m}{25\ s}\\\\v=16\ m/s

So, the speed of the horse is 16 m/s.
