Answer:
We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the <u>phosphate</u> group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the <u>hydroxyl</u> group attached to the <u>3'</u> carbon atom
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are polymers formed by a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) and a nitrogenous base. In the chain, the phosphate groups are linked to the 5'-carbon and 3'-carbon of the ribose (or deoxyribose) and the nitrogenous base is linked to the 2-carbon. Based on this structure, the nucleic acid chain orientation is identified as the 5'-end (the free phosphate group linked to 5'-carbon of the sugar) and the 3'-end (the free hydroxyl group in the sugar in 3' position).
To answer the question that is: "which factors affect a river's load", we have to understand that all the things mentioned are important. All these options (river's slope, streambed shape and volume of flow) affect the amount of energy that the river has to spend and the way the river spend that energy, so, it is right to mark the alternative <span>d) all of the above.</span>
I think the correct answer among the choices presented above is option C. The <span>atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in the nucleus. For a neutral atom, it is also the number of electrons since in a neutral atom protons and electrons are present in equal number.</span>
The answer would be B. New Moon.
