Answer: Option A) Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

First, the presence of thymine infers that the genome is DNA.

Then, to determine whether it is single or double stranded, we check if the sum of all nitrogenous bases is equal to 100%

A + C + G + T = 100%

28% + 35% + 20% + 17% = 100%

Since all bases makes 100%, we can conclude that the genome is a double stranded DNA

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

A. Genetic Biodiversity

Explanation:

All in all, many products that make up food, medicine, and supplies for humans are enhanced by the components of biodiversity.  

Similarly, a lot of components that make up our medicines usually come from environments that have extravagant amounts of biodiversity.

Case in point, the country of Madagascar is where most of the formulas of our medicines come from, and it has some of the most vibrant & biodiverse tropical forests in the world.

All living organisms break down sugar to obtain energy using cellular respiration, Which of the following chemical reactions rep
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The chemical reaction that represents the process of aerobic cell respiration is oxygen + glucose → water + carbon dioxide + energy

Explanation:

Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and consists of a series of chemical reactions in which energy in the form of ATP molecules is obtained from a glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen.

<u>Glucose is the main energetic substrate</u> to be able to synthesize energy in the form of ATP, through oxidative phosphorylation. At the end of the process ATP is obtained as products, and as waste compounds water and carbon dioxide, which can be schematized in the following chemical reaction:

              <em>              C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂ →  6H₂O  +  6CO₂ + ATP ↑</em>

<em>                Glucose + Oxygen → Water + Carbon dioxide + Energy ↑</em>

This reaction summarizes what happens in aerobic cellular breathing, which is necessary to synthesize energy for cellular functions.

The other reactions:

  • <em>oxygen + water </em><em>→</em><em> glucose + lactose </em>
  • <em>glucose + lactose </em><em>→</em><em> oxygen + water </em>
  • <em>water + carbon dioxide + energy </em><em>→</em><em> oxygen + glucose</em>

<em>do not represent the components or the order of the reactions that occur in aerobic cell respiration</em>
