The four organic molecules are listed below. Which ones do you get from the foods you eat? Check all that apply.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids

Explanation:

<em>The organic molecules that can be derived from eating foods are carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids.</em>

<u>Carbohydrates are general derived from starchy foods such as grains, proteins are derived from eating of foods that are rich in proteins such as meat, milk, etc, while lipids are derived from eating fat/oil-based foods such as butter, avocados, etc.</u>

Nucleic acids are not derived directly from foods. They are monomers of proteins and hence, they are only derived from breaking down proteins.

Fill in the blanks with vocabulary and enzyme terms. All answers should be in lower case The two strands of the DNA are one stra
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

The two strands of the DNA are "assembled" to each other such as the end of the DNA strand will be 3' paired with a 5' end.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with "hydrogen" bonds.

In DNA, A binds with "T" and G binds with "C".

"DNA helicase" unwinds the DNA for replication to begin.

An RNA primer is created by enzyme "primase" which then supplies the "3′" hydroxyl group used by "DNA polymerase" to start adding DNA nucleotides.

The DNA strand is made from "5'" to "3'".

The "lagging" strand is made in short segments called okazaki fragments. The "leading" strand is made in one continuous piece.

After replication, the RNA primers are removed by enzyme "RNase H" and replaced with DNA nucleotides.

The enzyme "DNA ligase" seals the nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone after the RNA primers are removed.

On linear chromosomes the enzyme "telomerase" extends the ends by creating a repeating sequence of nucleotides which helps prevent loss of genetic material with each replication.

Explanation:

The two strands of the DNA are "assembled" to each other such as the end of the DNA strand will be 3' paired with a 5' end. - The double helix structure of DNA is assembled following a 3' paired with a 5' end, this is called an  antiparallel arrangement which gives more stability to the DNA.

The two strands of the DNA are held together with "hydrogen" bonds. - This are weak bonds, however since they are numerous hydrogen bonds in DNA, they hold together the structure.

In DNA, A binds with "T" and G binds with "C". - This is called the base pairing rule or the Chargaff's rule.

"DNA helicase" unwinds the DNA for replication to begin. - DNA helicase catalyze the breaking down of the hydrogen bonds of the center of the strand.

An RNA primer is created by enzyme "primase" which then supplies the "3′" hydroxyl group used by "DNA polymerase" to start adding DNA nucleotides. - Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a RNA primer, a small sequence of RNA that marks the begging of the polymerization.

The DNA strand is made from "5'" to "3'". - DNA polymerase needs the 3′ hydroxyl group to start adding DNA nucleotides, adding nucleotides from its 5′ group.

The "lagging" strand is made in short segments called okazaki fragments. The "leading" strand is made in one continuous piece. - The leading strand is synthesized from 5' to 3', therefore the polymerization occurs continuously. The lagging strand is backwards, therefore okazaki fragments must be added.

After replication, the RNA primers are removed by enzyme "RNase H" and replaced with DNA nucleotides. - RNase H is an endogenous hydrolase, it catalyzes the removal of the RNA primers while DNA polymerase I fill the blanks with DNA.

The enzyme "DNA ligase" seals the nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone after the RNA primers are removed. - As the name implies, DNA ligase facilitates the joining of DNA strands, such as the ones formed where the RNA primers where before.

On linear chromosomes the enzyme "telomerase" extends the ends by creating a repeating sequence of nucleotides which helps prevent loss of genetic material with each replication. - Telomerase, also known as terminal transferase, adds the repeating sequences (telomeres) in eukaryotic cells.

Because there are three different possible reading frames in a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, most mRNAs can be translated in a
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In the genetic code, each triplet of nucleotides (i.e., each codon) determines one specific amino acid or one-stop codon. The genetic code is not overlapping, which means that the same letter in the genetic code (nucleotide) cannot be used for two different codons. There are 64 possible combinations of triplets of nucleotides, 61 of them determine amino acids, while three triplets determine stop codons (UAG, UAA, and UGA) that indicate the termination of translation. Moreover, the genetic code is also degenerate, which means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.

tangare [24]

Answer: asked the patient two questions about feelings of hopelessness and feelings related to the enjoyment of activities

Explanation:

Hopelessness is an emotional context featured by a lack of hope, passion, and optism. It is expressed as a symptom of varying behavioral and mental health problems, including depression, bipolar, anxiety, eating disorders and among others.

In the other hand, the test on feelings related to enjoyment was done to evaluate the the emotions of pleasure from the individual’s engagements.

However, the physician carried out the two tests on his patient to know whether he's depressed or not.
