The correct answer is: In DNA and RNA, a phosphodiester linkage connects the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the 5' carbon of another.  

The phosphate of one nucleotide is covalently bound to the sugar of the next nucleotide in DNA molecule (or hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and the 5' carbon atom of another sugar molecule (deoxyribose) to form two ester bonds). In RNA molecule linkage is between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule (ribose) and the 5' carbon atom of another, (ribose).  

Hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds is catalyzed by the action of enzymes phosphodiesterases.

2. What structures or abilities are essential to the success of organisms who do not use
aev [14]

Answer:

Ability to perform locomotion with their legs

Explanation:

Plants and animals are two distinct species of organisms. Plants are capable of using photosynthesis to obtain their food due to the unique structures that can capture light energy in their cells (autotrophic). Animals, on the other hand, are heterotrophic i.e. cannot perform photosynthesis and therefore, rely on other organisms for food.

Since animals depends on eating other organisms to obtain food/energy, their possession of LEGS or ability to LOCOMOTE is very instrumental to their success as non-photosynthetic or heterotrophic organisms. This enables them leave one position in search for food and resources
