CHONP stands for carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus. Carbon is a component of various organic compounds and it also present in DNA, proteins and nucleic acids. Hydrogen is found in water, which is a universal solvent and it also participates in photosynthesis. Oxygen is a component of water and it is involved in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Nitrogen is very important in protein synthesis; proteins stores information about DNA. Phosphorus is found in phoospholipids, ATP and DNA.

Answer:

B. 20%

Explanation:

The complementary base-pairing rule states that Adenine always pairs with Thymine (A with T), and Cytosine with Guanine (C with G).

Because of this, the amount of Adenine present must be the same as the amount of Thymine present, and the same for Cytosine and Guanine.

This means that if there is 30% Adenine, there is also 30% Thymine as each A base is paired to a T base. This adds to 60%, so Cytosine amounts and Guanine amounts must add to 40% to make 100%.

Since they are equal in amount, there must be 20% of each.

Therefore the answer is B. 20%

There is 30% Adenine, 30% Thymine, 20% Guanine and 20% Cytosine.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

B. Mitochondria

Explanation:

Mitochondria are known as the power house of the cell. They are the sites of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into energy molecules such as ATP and energy storage molecules such as NADH and FADH2.
In this scenario, since the cell's energy levels fall and metabolism ceases, the organelle most likely affected is the mitochondria.
If mitochondria are affected, glucose will not be metabolized to ATP and the cell will not have sufficient energy for cellular functions.
