Answer:
d. nitrogen-containing base
.
Explanation:
A nucleotide comprises a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base (nitrogen-containing base).
A nitrogenous base is a type of aromatic heterocyclic organic compound which essentially has nitrogen in it. The base can be a purine or pyrimidine. Purine nitrogenous bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G) while pyrimidine nitrogenous bases are cytosine (C), thiamine (T) and uracil (U).
Till the time a base is not attached to covalently linked phosphate group and a pentose sugar, it is known as nucleoside. But as soon as we attach any nitrogenous base to the nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed. So it means a nucleotide is nucleoside + nitrogenous base.
Examples are as under:
A nucleotide which has adenine as nitrogenous base is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while a nucleotide which has guanine as nitrogenous base is known as Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP).
Biomechanical mechanisms, habitat for plants and animals, participates in cycling of all materials used by living things.
Answer:
Arachidonic acids
Explanation:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs used due to their analgesic, anti-inflammatory effects.
It inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme that takes part in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) and the production of eicosanoids.
Eicosanoids are made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or from other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are close to arachidonic acid which are 20 carbon units in length.
They are important cell signaling molecules that inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever,regulate abortion of pregnancy and normal childbirth, regulating cell growth.
