givi [52]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is They both contain carbon ,but only nucleic acid contain phosphorous

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are also called polyhydroxyaldehydes or polyhydroxyketones.Carbohydrates contain carbon,hydrogen and oxygen.For example glucose(C6H12O6).

   On the other hand nucleic are composed of nucleotides that contain nitrogen base,ribose sugar and phosphate group.

     The presence of phosphate group in the nucleic acid make it different from carbohydrate.

Who discovered the monomers of nucleic acids?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Phoebus Levene.

Explanation:

Two types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. The monomers of mucleic acid contains the pentose sugar, nitrogenous bases and the phosphate group attached with the bases.

Friedrich Miescher was the first scientists who discovered the nucleic acids. He identified the nucleic acids from the bandage that contains the nuclei of white blood cells. The new compounds discovered is known as nucleic acid. But the monomers of the nucleic acids was first explained by Phoebus Levene. Different forms of nucleic acid was also postulated by Phoebus Levene.

Thus, the answer is Phoebus Levene.

What is so special about nitrogen in the atmosphere
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Firstly, the partial pressure of nitrogen (78%) is crucial to breathing purposes. Without this pressure, the lungs will burst and animals cannot survive.

Secondly, nitrogen is required for the formation of amino acids (building blocks of proteins) and other organic compounds that are necessary for the survival of living organisms. Principally, in the atmosphere, nitrogen is present in the form of molecular nitrogen (N2). N2 is fixed by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form nitrates and nitrites. These molecules are then used in biochemical processes to produce proteins (amino acids) and other organic compounds. In the absence of nitrogen, these processes could become seize of limited significantly thus affecting life overall.

Thirdly, nitrogen and its derivatives act as greenhouse gases that maintain the Earth's temperature within a range that supports life. Yes, the increased abundance of nitrous oxides is not good because of acid rain and other issues, however, still, the presence of nitrogen is important for life on this planet.

lana [24]

Answer:

0.04 for 6 legs starfish and 0.96 for 5 legs starfish.

Explanation:

The allele frequency for the 6 legs starfish is 0.04 whereas, the allele frequency for the 5 legs starfish is 0.96 because there is only one 6 legs starfish in the given population as compared to 5 legs starfish. The low population of 6 legs starfish is due to the presence of recessive allele while on the other hand, higher population of 5 legs starfish is due to the presence of dominant allele. The allele frequencies for both population is done by dividing the allele of interest by total number of alleles present in the population.
