<span>Nucleotides are made of a pentode sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogen base. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids DNA and RNA which serve as the cell's store house of genetic information. All nucleotides are composed of three parts: a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogen-rich structure called a nitrogenous base. The sugar can be ribose which is found in RNA, or deoxyribose which is found in DNA. The only difference between these two sugars is that deoxyribose has one fewer oxygen atom than ribose.</span>

When comparing the yield of ATP from the different stages of cellular respiration, which produces the greatest number of ATP

REY [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - electron transport system.

Explanation:

There are 3 main stages of cellular respiration (aerobic) that are Glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle and the ETS or Electron Transport Chain. The formation of energy in ATPare as follows:

Glycolysis - glucose > 2 Pyretic Acid Molecules =>2 ATP and Hydrogen

The Krebs Cycle - Citric Acid (a derivative of Pyruvic Acid) > 2 ATP in 4 cycles and Hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

The Electron Transport Chain > electron carrying Hydrogens > releases the energy as 4 ATP and water

Thus, the correct answer is - The Electron Transport Chain is the stage that produces most of the ATP during cellular respiration.

Question 5

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid occurs faster if the liquid is cooled. Hence the correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid occurs faster than a solid. Solid solute takes much time to be dissolved in a solvent. This is because of the bonding. The bond of the solid is is much stronger when compared to the gaseous state. This is one of the reasons of gaseous dissolving faster than solid.

A gaseous state is defined as a material whose atoms are not closely attached with one another and is free to move in any direction. And when we have to mix gas in a liquid in a faster rate the liquid temperature should be lowered.
