The acronym 'DNA' stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
DNA is used to 'code' the genetic makeup of all living organisms, and is found inside the nucleus of the cell(Eukaryotes) or just floating in the cytoplasm of the cell(Prokaryotes). DNA is made up of 4 different pairs of base molecules(nucleotides) that are slightly different from another. The similar molecule structure RNA(ribonucleic acid) differs from DNA in that RNA nucleotides are just slightly different from the nucleotides of DNA. This difference is that RNA nucleotides have a hydroxide group(OH) where the DNA nucleotides just have a hydrogen atom.
Because the DNA nucleotide doesn't have the hydroxide group it has one less oxygen than RNA nucleotides do. This is where DNA derives the prefix "deoxy-," meaning "without oxygen."
The prefix "ribo-" is given to molecules with a certain configuration of a set of 3 consecutive but not necessarily contiguous CHOH(asymmetric) groups.
The combined form "nucleo-" is used to imply something that has to do with the nucleus, such as the nucleus of a cell where DNA is stored in Eukaryotes.
And finally, the ending of the acronym: "acid." DNA is an acid because the 4 nucleotides each contain a phosphate group, which are acidic.
And thus, we get our answer: deoxyribonucleic acid, and the meaning:
deoxy-ribo-nucleic acid
(without oxygen) + (has 3 CHOH groups) + (in/of the nucleus) + (acidic)
Thus, DNA is a molecule is basically an acidic molecule residing in the nucleus with 3 CHOH groups and is missing oxygen atoms.
I know this isn't really what you're looking for, but honestly I had a great time doing a little research into the name!
Hope this explains it a little! c;
Answer:
false
Explanation:
A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it. A buffer protects from ph increasing.
Answer:
1s22s22p6: Neon (Ne)
1s22s22p63s23p3: Phosphorous (P)
1s22s22p63s23p64s1: Potassium (K)
1s22s22p63s23p64s2(im not sure what 308 is supposed to be): Calcium (Ca)
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d3: there is no pure element that ends 4d3 that I know of so this can either be Zirconium(Zr) if it ends in 4d2 or Niobium (Nb) if it ends in 4d4
Explanation:
you can look at the periodic table and the trends to find the rough idea of where the electron configuration ends, there are helpful articles and images on these, i attached an image that may help. After that you can look at the atomic number to find the number of electrons for a pure element and use the electron subshell pattern thing to find the exact number
First we convert kg to g
1kg =1000g
4.70=x(gram)
4.70×1000÷1=4700g
now:
number of moles=mass÷molarmass
number of moles=4700÷65.4
number of moles=71.86moles.
Answer:
Scientists have predicted that long-term effects of climate change will include a decrease in sea ice and an increase in permafrost thawing, an increase in heat waves and heavy precipitation, and decreased water resources in semi-arid regions
