Have you ever sat around a campfire or watched flames flicker in a fireplace? The burning of wood is a chemical reaction. A chem

ical reaction always involves changes in chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds. The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction are called reactants. The elements or molecules produced by a chemical reaction are called products. As wood burns, molecules of cellulose are broken down and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, and energy is released. What are the reactants when wood burns? What are the products when wood burns?

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Reactants - oxygen and cellulose.

Products - carbon dioxide and water (carbon residues sometimes)

Explanation:

Burning wood is a chemical reaction that involves a reaction between reactants and produces products with energy. In this chemical reaction, the reactants that take part are oxygen present in the atmosphere and cellulose (wood made up of cellulose).

In this reaction a lot of energy or heat loss takes place and at the end of the reaction carbon dioxide and water produces. however, sometimes other substances also present.

What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.

Explanation:

The Na/⁺K⁺ pump is an ATPase pump which is responsible for maintaining low Na⁺ and high K⁺ concentrations within the cytoplasm while maintaining high Na⁺ and low K⁺ concentrations in the extracellular fluid.

Since these two ions are moved against their concentration gradient, ATP hydrolysis is required to provide the energy for this process. This is done by moving in two K⁺ ions  inside while moving three Na⁺ ions outside the cell for every molecule of ATP hydrolysed to ADP and Pi.

If a competitive non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP is applied on the cytoplasmic side of a plasma membrane that contained a large concentration of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump, it will act by inhibiting the action of the Na/⁺K⁺ pump. This will result in an accumulation of Na⁺ ions inside the cell and lower than normal K⁺ ions concentration.

During DNA replication, an open section of DNA, in which a DNA polymerase can replicate DNA, is called a replication fork. 2. Ok
Fiesta28 [93]

The question has been answered itself but the answer will contain the detail explanation.

Answer:

1. The replication fork formation during DNA replication is important for the continuity and the addition of the further base pair on the template. The DNA initiation process starts by the formation of replication fork.

2. The okazaki fragments are the short DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging strand. These fragments are later joined by the enzyme DNA ligase.

3. Leading strand is the continuous strand that formed during the DNA replication. The direction of the leading strand is 5' to 3' .

4. DNA polymerase is the main replicating enzyme during the DNA replication process. Different types of DNA polymerase with multiple subunits are present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

5. The new DNA that are formed from the parental strand and complementary with each other are called daughter DNA.
