Answer:
Explanation:
Amino acids are the monomers or building blocks of protein. Proteins are created during protein synthesis according to the genetic information or DNA in an organism.
The DNA is translated to messenger RNA in the nucleus. It travels to the ribosome. There, the mRNA is "read off" in threes. <u>Three nucleotides</u> make up a <u>codon.</u> Transfer RNA with the corresponding anticodon and an amino acid attaches to the codon and a chain of amino acid forms.
If 3 nucleotides make 1 codon which makes 1 amino acid, then we need double that or 6 nucleotides to make 2 amino acids.
The only answer choice with 6 nucleotides is <u>Choice 3: GAGCTC</u>
Answer:
M is Li, X is boron, and Q is oxygen. MX is LiB, lithium bromide. QX is BO, boron oxide (not Body Odor).
Explanation: The atomic masses don't match exactly with those listed in the periodic table. Boron, Oxygen, and Lithium come the closest.
Lithium reacts with bromine since it happily donates it's single 2s electron to bromine's 4p orbital to fill bromine's 4s and 4p valence orbitals to go from 7 to 8 valence electrons, it's happy state.
Boron reacts with oxygen to form B2O3, which I'll happily write as O=BOB=O, since my name is Bob. This is more complex, but both elements want to move electrons around in order to reach a more stable electron configuration. Boron has 3 valence electrons and oxygen has 6. So each oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's outer shell and boron is happy to lose it's 3 valence electrons to reach an outer shell equiovalent to helium. So 2 borons contribute a total of 6 electrons, and the 3 oxygens have room for a total of 6 electrons to fill their outer shell.
The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.
Answer:
C) Krypton is a noble gas, so it was difficult for chemists to find it, as though it was a secret.
Explanation:
The heat in the core of the Earth has several sources including:
1- The heat produced from the decaying of radioactive elements
2- The heat that was originally produced during the formation and accretion of the planet itself (This heat has not yet faded)
3- The heat produced during friction when denser material and elements sink into the planet's center.
