Biology

Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.

Purple sulfur bacteria and filamentous sulfur-oxidizers both A. accumulate sulfur as intracellular granules.B. fix nitrogen.C. p
aksik [14]

Answer:

Option A, accumulate sulfur as intracellular granules.

Explanation:

Purple sulfur bacteria  belong to the group of Proteobacteria. These probacterias are  anaerobic  in nature and yet are able to photosynthesise. They are usually found in  water environments  such as hot springs, stagnant water etc. They use sulphur (either in the form of sulfide, or thiosulfate) as an electron donor in their photosynthetic activity to oxidise sulfur thereby producing granules of elemental sulfur.

while filamentous sulfur oxidizers use nitrate instead of oxygen to oxidize sulfide thereby producing granules.

Hence, option A is correct.

What type of bonds holds together the sugar phosphate backbone
Lilit [14]
The bond formed between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of an adjacent nucleotide is a covalent bond. A covalent bond is the sharing of electrons between atoms. A covalent bond is stronger than a hydrogen bond (hydrogen bonds hold pairs of nucleotides together on opposite strands in DNA).
