Answer:

c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars

Explanation:

Phosphodiester bond is the bond which is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide to the phosphate group of the another nucleotide. These are ester bonds. These bonds are central to all the life which is in existence on Earth. These bonds forms the backbone of the strands of the nucleic acid.

The bond is formed by the linkage of 3' carbon atom of one of the sugar unit to the 5' carbon atom of the another succeeding sugar unit.

<u>Hence, the answer is:- c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars</u>

Bella observes that the gas-filled tire of her bicycle becomes a little deflated when she keeps the bicycle outside in cold weat
weqwewe [10]

The low temperature outside lowers the volume of the gas according to Charles' law because this law describes how a gas will behave at constant pressure. It shows that the volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided the pressure remains constant. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in volume while a decrease reduces the volume. This is due to the reduction in the distances traveled by the vibrating  particles of the gas because of the lost kinetic energy.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

3 element i.e carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Subtance >>>>>>>> Chemical Formula

Glucose >>>>>>>>> C₆H₁₂O₆

Methane >>>>>>>> CH₄

Ethanol >>>>>>>>> C₂H₅OH

Hydrogen peroxide >> H₂O₂

From the above table, we can see that ethanol (C₂H₅OH) contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen

Therefore, the total number of elements present in ethanol, C₂H₅OH is 3.
