Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,

can you use it to predict the amounts of all four nucleotide bases when you only know the amount of one type of base? Approximately 21% of the human genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the human genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing G, T, and A.
a. _____% of the human genome is comprised of G.
b. _____% of the human genome is comprised of T.
c. _____% of the human genome is comprised of A.

Answer:

a. 21% G

b. 29% T

c. 29% A

Explanation:

Based on Chargaff's rule, we know that A = T and C = G.

.21 C => .21 G

.21 + .21 = .42

So we know all the C and G is .42. So what's left must be the A and T.

1 - .42 = .58

There's .58 A and T, so divide that in half, because they're equal amounts.

.58/2 = .29

.29 A => .29 T

Answer:

38. Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

39. The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas

40. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.

41. Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

Does this show the geocentric or heliocentric idea of the solar system? Explain the difference.
ValentinkaMS [17]

the picture above shows a heliocentric solar system. the difference between a heliocentric and a geocentric model is that the geocentric model shows earth in the middle of the solar system and all the heavenly bodies orbiting it and the heliocentric model shows a sun-centered solar system with the planets orbiting it.
