Answer: Nucleic acid: 260nM ; Protein 280nM and ration must be in between 1.8 to 2.

Explanation:

The spectrophotometry method that is used to measure the purity of the substance by measuring the absorbance of a particular wavelength of light.

A beam of light is passed through the sample solution. The principle is that the substance might absorb light or transmit light.

When a solution of DNA is kept under spectrophotometry then The wavelength of light absorbed by DNA is 260 nM and protein is 280 nM and their ratio should be in between 1.8 to 2.

A value in between 1.8 to 2 indicates the solution is pure and has no contamination in it.

What is the process of chemosynthesis?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Define key words/vocab words to solve.

Sometimes you have to define words in the definition too :-P

chemosynthesis - the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight.

maybe easier to understand below:

Chemosynthesis is the process by which food (glucose) is made by bacteria using chemicals as the energy source, rather than sunlight. Chemosynthesis occurs around hydrothermal vents and methane seeps in the deep sea where sunlight is absent.

Comparing the structures of aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen, what structural do they share?
o-na [289]
<span />Aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen do not have close similarities based on the classification and molecular structure. Aspirin is an acetyl derivative and have more than one crystal structure. Ibuprofen, the ones available as painkiller pills, is actually a racemic form, but like aspirin, it acts by inhibiting COX enzymes to limit prostaglandin activity. Acetaminophen is not even an NSAID because it has little anti-inflammatory activity.
