it changes the composition of the DNA

DNA is chiefly responsible for storing and transferring genetic information whereas RNA acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes during the process of protein synthesis and directly codes for amino acids.

DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded.

DNA has thymine in its structure but RNA does not. Instead in place of thymine it has uracil.

Proteins and nucleic acids both play vital roles in the structure and function of cells.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Part A: Proteins are made from amino acid monomers. There are 20 different types of amino acids which make up all the proteins of the body. The amino acids are made up of a carbon atom which is joined to an amino group, a carboxyl group and a variant group, known as R. Nucleic acids are made up of 5 carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases.  Hence, nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides.

Part B: Protiens are important molecule which carry out various functions of the body. They are involved in regulation of various body process. Some proteins are involved in the transportation of various molecules. Other type of proteins are involved in various immune functions and hence protect the body. For example, antibodies are proteins which defend the body against pathogens.

Nucleic acids are involved in the storing and expressing of genetic information. They also direct the body for protein synthesis.

Consider the equation S + O2 ? SO2. What is the product? Question 3 options: S SO 2 S + SO 2 O 2
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer : The product in the given balanced reaction is, sulfur dioxide (SO_2).

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

S+O_2\rightarrow SO_2

This reaction occurs when sulfur react with oxygen gas to give sulfur dioxide gas as a product.

In the given balanced chemical reaction, sulfur (S) and oxygen gas (O_2) are the reactants and sulfur dioxide (SO_2) is the product.

Hence, the product in the given balanced reaction is, sulfur dioxide (SO_2).
