Answer:

B. A purine always bonds with a pyrimidine.

Explanation:

DNA is a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides each of which has a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and phosphate group. There are two types of nitrogenous bases present in DNA. Adenine and guanine are the purine bases and have two rings in their structure while the cytosine and thymine are the pyrimidine bases with a single ring structure.

A purine base of one DNA strand always pairs with the pyrimidine base of another DNA strand. Adenine (purine) makes two hydrogen bonds with thymine (pyrimidine) while guanine (purine) makes three hydrogen bonds with cytosine (pyrimidine). The pairing of a purine with a pyrimidine base keeps the diameter of a DNA double helix uniform throughout the length. For instance, the diameter of B-DNA is around 20 angstrom.

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. The bond between the __________ (first, second, or third) phosphate group and the _______
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The bond between the _second_________ phosphate group and the third__phosphate group is a high energy bond.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate is a nucleotide with three phosphate groups.  The second and third phosphate groups are bonded by high energy covalent bonds to the rest of the ATP molecule, which consists of a sugar, which is ribose, the first phosphate group, and the nitrogenous base which is adenine. All of the phosphate groups are negatively charged and repel each other, so a high energy covalent bond is necessary to attach these phosphate groups together and keep the forces from pulling them apart.
