Answer:

As proteins vary widely in structures than that of nucleic acid there will be greater structural  and functional diversity of proteins  than nucleic acid.

Explanation:

Proteins are the macromolecules which have more structural diversity than any other macromolecules such as carbohydrate,lipid,nucleic acid.

  The are 4 types of protein structure primary structure,secondary structure,tertiary structure and Quaternary structure.Due the existence of many types of structure various protein exhibit various functions.

 On the other hand nucleic acid such as DNA has widely accepted secondary structure discovered by watson and crick.As a result there is no such structural diversity exist in nucleic acid.

Yanka [14]

The mass of CO2 produced by 26g of acetylene is 88g.

Given ,

In an oxyacetylene torch, acetylene gas (ethyne; HCCH) burns to produce carbon dioxide and water vapour.

The acetylene combustion reaction is given by,

H2O + HCCH + 5/2 O=O 2CO2

Heat of reaction for acetylene combustion = 1259kj/mol

CO2 has a molecular mass of 44g/mol.

2 moles of CO2 have a molecular mass of 88g.

On combustion, 1 mole of acetylene yields 2 moles of CO2.

Thus, 26g of acetylene produces 88g of CO2 when burned.

As a result, the mass of carbon dioxide produced by 26g of acetylene is 88g.

In which of the following types of solution is the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization? Concentrated Super
Butoxors [25]

In a <u>Saturated </u>solution, the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one than cannot dissolve any more solute because the solutes inter-molecular spaces are filled with the solute molecules at that temperature. When an attempt is made to dissolve more solute into the solution, the rate at which the solute is dissolved into the solution is equal to the rate at which excess solute is precipitated and crystallized.

do you think that religion and science are in conflict ,or that people can both have both without any problems
natka813 [3]
Religion and science are fundamentally incompatible. They disagree profoundly on how we obtain knowledge of the world. Science is based observation and reasoning from observation. Religion assumes that human beings can access a deeper level of information that is not available by either observation or reason.

Radium decays to form radon. Which equation correctly describes this decay? Superscript 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a righ
KiRa [710]

Answer: 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e

Explanation:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

The general representation of alpha decay reaction is:

^{A}_{Z}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{A-4}_{Z-2}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}

Representation of Radium decays to form Radon

^{226}_{88}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow ^{222}_{86}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}

Thus 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e represents alpha decay.
