A nucleic acid is made of nucleotides, and nitrogenous bases are a part of a nucleotide.

DNA is a nucleic acid. The nucleotides in DNA are made up of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one nitrogenous base (which will be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine).

Hope this helps!!

Which regions of the vascular bed is the actual site of gas exchange with surrounding tissue?

devlian [24]

<h2>Capillaries</h2>

Explanation:

Capillaries are thin cells and help to gas exchange with surrounding tissue.
They are little to such an extent that red platelets need to course through them a single record. In the event that all the Capillaries in the human body were arranged in a single record, the line would extend more than 100,000 miles.
Encompassing this layer of cells is something many refer to as the cellar film, a layer of protein encompassing the narrow. Carbon dioxide (from deoxygenated blood) thus spills out of the Capillaries once more into alveoli to be breathed out into the earth.
Hence, the "capillaries" is the right answer.

<span>1. Planting trees INCREASES THE TRANSPIRATION. The correct option is B. Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water through their openings to the atmosphere. If the number of planted trees increases, the level of transpiration will also increases.
2. INFILTRATION is the process by which water enter deep into the earth surface. Infiltration is a measure of the ability of the soil to allow the water to enter and move through the soil profile.</span>

In an experiment involving an enzyme, the pit is raised from 2 to 11. What will be the most likely effect of

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

As we know enzymes are specific for different reactions and The conditions required by an enzyme to function are also specific. An enzyme which works in a basic environment will not be able to function in a acidic environment.

If the pH for a reaction is increased from 2 to 11 then this change will change the active site of the enzymes. As a result, the substrate will not be able to fit into the enzyme and hence the enzyme will not catalyze the reaction.
