Ulleksa [173]3 years ago
6 0
The answer is letter d. it has only 2 electrons in its first shell and 4 in the second shell. Basing from the electronic configuration of the carbon atom, the "s" orbital of carbon atom is completely filled leaving now the "p" orbitals partially filled. Thus in this case, carbon atom has four (4) valence electrons.

frozen [14]

Answer:

B. Base pairing occurs within an RNA molecule to give RNA the three-dimensional shape needed for specific functions.

Explanation:

Ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, is a type of nucleic acid found in living systems. In opposition to the other type of nucleic acid (DNA), RNA is a short single stranded molecule. Both DNA and RNA are made of nucleotides, composed of a phosphate group, nitrogenous bases and a pentose sugar.

The presence of ribose sugar and Uracil base in RNA instead of deoxyribose sugar and thymine base respectively structurally differentiates the molecule from DNA. However, base pairing occurs within the RNA molecule to form the three-dimensional shape of the RNA, which is key to the specificity of its function.
