Jackson performed an experiment in which he analyzed the elemental components of several unknown compounds. His results are show

n in the table below. Elemental Components of Unknown Compounds Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur
Given this data, Jackson concludes that only Unknown 2 could be a protein. Which of the following explanations supports Jackson's conclusion?
 
A. Proteins have some amino acids that contain nitrogen, whereas most lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates do not contain nitrogen.
   
B. Proteins are the only macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

C. Proteins have some amino acids that contain sulfur, whereas most lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates do not contain sulfur.

   D. Proteins are the only macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus.

The correct answer is option (C) Proteins have some amino acids that contain sulfur, whereas most lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates do not contain sulfur.

Carbohydrates are biomolecules made up of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) only. Lipids are organic molecules made up of carbon (C) as their backbone along with hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). In addition they can contain nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Nucleic acids are the biological molecules made up of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).

Proteins are the only group of organic compounds made up of sulfur (S) in addition to the carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) of the aminoacids which form the monomers of the proteins. Thus, the other biomolecules like carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids lack sulfur and compound unknown 2 being analysed by Jackson can only be a protein because of the presence of sulfur.

The answer to this question is <span>membrane potential 

The gradient of electrolyte concentration from inside cell and outside cell will determine the membrane potential. Natrium or sodium is much higher outside the cell than inside cell. In contrast to the sodium, potassium is much more inside cells. This two electrolyte have major role in the membrane potential and action potential. </span>

What is semi-conservative DNA replication and how does it differ from conservative replication? Which type of DNA replication is
fredd [130]

Answer:

Semi-conservative DNA replication:

The semi-conservative model of DNA replication explains that the newly synthesized daughter DNA molecule contains one newly synthesized strand and one parental strand. This model of replication is important and explains the biological significance of replication. The DNA unwinds in this mode of replication.

Conservative model of DNA replication:

The conservative model of DNA replication explains that the newly synthesized daughter DNA molecules has the one DNA helix of parent and the other DNA helix are entirely new. This model does not has a biological significance. The DNA is not unwinds in this mode of replication.

The semi-conservative mode of DNA replication is found in the living organism.

A body of knowledge that explains the natural world?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Knowledge is very important for us for better understanding, for easy study.

<h3>What is a body of knowledge that explains the natural world?</h3>

Science is an organized way of using evidence to learn about the natural world. The world science also refers to the body of knowledge that scientists have built up after years of using this process. It is the science with the help of which we can study the nature deeply without and difficulties. It is the science which make the things very easy for us and make for us very easy to be studied. Without the knowledge we can't able to understand the world in a quite easy manner.

So we can conclude that: Knowledge is very important for us for better understanding, for easy study.
