The correct option is D.
During peptide formation, when two amino acids come together, a hydrogen atom and two molecules of oxygen are released in form of water molecules. The amino acid that present the carboxyl group to the reaction loses an hydroxyl group while the amino acid that present the amino group to the reaction loses a hydrogen.
A is the correct answer and this question should be in physics not chemistry
Answer:
C
H²O is dissociated in water into H³O+ (hydronium ions) and OH- (hydroxide) given by;
2H²O <-----> H³O+ + OH-
If you notice initially we have 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms. And similarly after the reaction we have 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.
Ratio of H to O is 4:2
or 2:1
This is very intuitive as we have 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom in a water molecule.
I think that answer you are looking for is "The Nucleus" because DNA contains genetic material but the Nucleus directs the cell.
