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>

solong [7]

Answer:

No, just because carbon did not react with water, does not mean it wouldn't react with a different compound.

Explanation:

It is common knowledge that carbon is not in group 18, because it is found in all living compounds, and this means it must be reactive with many compounds. We know that water is not very reactive, but it is a good solvent. Meaning that many compounds can dissolve in water, but not chemically react with it. Carbon however is not very soluble because it does not create dipoles or hydrogen bonds. This means it will not show any change when in the presence of water, but if combined with oxygen, can form carbon dioxide.
