What type of reaction occurs when large carbohydrate molecules are broken down into smaller sugars? select one:

Biology

seraphim [82]4 years ago

Answer: D

Carbolic reactions breaks larger substances to smaller ones.

Anabolic reactions forms larger compounds from smaller units.

DNA synthesis does not involve breaking down of sugars.

Dehydration is a umbrella term used for reactions that releases water as a byproduct. In the case of sugars, they are held by Glycosidic bonds. To break them, hydration is needed as 1 water molecule breaks 1 glycosidic bond. The process of forming large units of sugars involves dehydration to form the glycosidic bonds. Therefore option d is wrong.

DNA guiding production of protein is definitely wrong as this process doesn't cause sugars to break down at all.

What are sound waves
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Sound is a mechanical wave that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. The motion of the particles is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the energy transport. This is what characterizes sound waves in air as longitudinal waves.

What property of the DNA molecule explains the necessity for Okazaki fragments? DNA is antiparallel. DNA is a linear molecule. D
Arada [10]

Answer:DNA is antiparallel.

Explanation: DNA is a double stranded helix in which the two strands are antiparallel. Being antiparallel means that as one strand runs from 5'->3' direction, the other strand runs from 3'->5' direction. During DNA each of the two strands serves as a template for a new complementary strand. The synthesis of a new DNA strand is always in the 5'->3' direction, therefore one strand is synthesized continuously in the direction of the replication fork while the other strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the replication fork in short fragments called the Okazaki fragments. The strand that is synthesized continuously is called the leading strand while the strand that is synthesized discontinuously in Okazaki fragments is called the lagging strand.
