You are given four test tubes containing purified biological macromolecules. The test tubes are unlabeled except for a number be

tween 1 and 4. You are told that one test tube contains a protein, one contains a lipid, one contains a carbohydrate, and one contains a nucleic acid. You then perform some tests on the macromolecules and collect the following information:
A. Test tubes 2 and 4 contain nitrogen, but the other tubes do not.
B. The contents of test tube 3 are not soluble in water, but the contents of the other test tubes are soluble in water.
C. The contents of test tube 1 can be broken down into subunits that are all exactly identical to each other.
D. The macromolecule in test tube 2 is found to have a globular shape. What are the identities of the macromolecules present in the four test tubes?

Answer:

Test tube 1 carbohydrates

Test tube 2 protein

Test tube 3 lipids

Test tube 4 nucleic aci

Explanation:

nitrogen can be found in both

Test tubes 2 and 4 indicating possibilities of proteins and nuciec acids

Test tube 3 should contain lipids due to its non-water solubility properties.

carbohydrates (made out of sugar units) should be the constituents of test tube 3 considering other test tube analysis

Globular shape can be seen in test tube 2, then it will be protein when considered with molecular level due to linear structure of DNA

Can individual nucleic acid have globular shape or not. The answer is no

Our conclusion;

Test tube 1 carbohydrates

Test tube 2 protein

Test tube 3 lipids

Test tube 4 nucleic acid

Which noncoding RNAs are correctly matched with their function?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) bind to complementary sequences in mRNA and block its translation.

b. Piwi-associated RNAs (piRNAs) reestablish appropriate methylation patterns in the genome during gamete formation.

Explanation:

MicroRNAs

These are the small non-coding RNA molecule. These RNA consist of about 22 nucleotides. MicroRNAs are found in animals, plants and some viruses,

MiRNAs function

MicroRNAs also represented as miRNA function through base-pairing with complementary sequences of mRNA molecules. Due to this base pairing it functions as RNA silencing and regulation of gene expression.

Piwi-interacting RNA

piRNA expressed in animal cell. piRNA are the small non-coding RNA molecules which form RNA-protein complexes.

Piwi-interacting RNA Function:

Function of these complexes are epigenetic and post-transcriptional silencing of transposons.

Small interfering RNA :

siRNA molecules are the small pieces of double-stranded (ds) RNA. There length is about 21 nucleotides long. siRNA have 3' (3 prime) overhangs

Small interfering RNA Function:

siRNA overhangs are used to "interfere" protein translation. They perform this function by binding and degradation of mRNA at specific sequences

Why do scientists wonder if flood basalt outpourings changed the history of life on Earth?
babunello [35]

Answer:

They wonder about the History of life on Earth for this most improtant reason:

Explanation:

This one being, that there is a close time coincidence between major extinction events and major flood basalt outpouring events, and lesser yet important extinctions with lesser yet important flood basalt events. This suggests a causative relationship.
