The DNA structure is similar to a ladder. Choose the molecules that make up the "rails"

Biology
1 answer:
velikii [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: The molecules that make up the "rails" or sides of the DNA structure are deoxyribose and phosphate

Explanation: A DNA is a double stranded helix made up of nucleotides. A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. Nitrogenous bases found in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. The bases pairs with each other to form the rungs of the ladder while the phosphate group and deoxyribose sugar forms the rail or the backbone. The rail containing phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars is called the phosphodeoxyribose backbone.

Many marine organisms depend on up welling to bring nutrients to the surface. How might El Nino affect a fisherman's way of life
svp [43]
During an El Nino, warm water gathers along the West coast of South America, so the nutrient rich water is no longer being upwelled. keeping in mind that cold water sinks and warm water rises, usually the warm water near coastal regions would not be full of nutrients compared to the cold water where the nutrients fall. therefore, more fish will be located or migrate to areas of this nutrient rich cold water instead. So, many fishermen would not have high yields of fish ultimately affecting their way of life and money. also a lot of these fish that remain at the surface would not be as healthy or nutrient rich.

hope that helps! :))

The leg muscles of a sprinter would differ from a marathon runner in that ________. The leg muscles of a sprinter would differ f
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - per gram, the marathon runner's muscles would contain more myoglobin than the sprinter's muscles.

Explanation:

Marathon runners have smaller leg muscles and thinner quads and calves as marathon runners require slow-twitch muscles while in sprinters the fast-twitch muscle requires. Slow-twitch muscles of marathon runners have more amount of myoglobin, per gram than fast-twitch muscles.

Myoglobin acts as local oxygen storage that provides oxygen to the muscles in case of less oxygen supply than required temporarily and a marathon race is an intense exercise or activity that requires more oxygen.

Why is pollution so widespread
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Land can become polluted by household garbage and by industrial waste. In 2014, Americans produced about 258 million tons of solid waste, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A little over half of the waste — 136 million tons— was gathered in landfills. Only about 34% was recycled or composted.

Hope this helps and I hope its correct.
