How many hydrogen bonds are found between a-t

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is two hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine (the bond is thus weaker and longer) and three between cytosine and guanine.

A hydrogen bond is a bond formed between a hydrogen (H) atom and electronegative atom or group, such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F).

Hydrogen bond is found in the double helical structure of DNA between its base pairs. Guanine is complementary linked with cytosine and adenine with thymine. Thanks to hydrogen bonds one complementary strand is connected to the other and replication is enabled.

Describe and explain how the rate of photosynthesis is affected by light intensity

Tema [17]

Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply. At very high light intensities, photosynthesis is slowed and then inhibited, but these light intensities do not occur in nature.

A. What is exponential growth?

Over [174]

Answer:

A process that increases quantity over time.

Explanation:

The formula for exponential growth of a variable x at the growth rate r, as time t goes on in discrete intervals (that is, at integer times 0, 1, 2, 3, ...), is:

$X_{t}= X_{0} (1+r)^{2}$

Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time. It occurs when the instantaneous rate of change of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself.
