1 answer:

7 0

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.

Minerals are rarely used in everyday life true or false

Softa [21]

Answer: False

Reason: We Use Minerals In our day to day life, when it comes to cooking, or burning. We use Salt to cook amazing meals, and some pots and pans have minerals built in to them so that they last longer over the years you cook with them. When we burn in the fireplace or in the backyard, some of us use coal and light it up, and sometimes, we use minerals to make buildings. In one of my neighboring towns, their City Hall has little mineral pieces built into the City Hall. I hope this helps, and happy holidays! :)
