Why is DNA with a high GC content more difficult to denature than that with a low GC content?

Biology
1 answer:
JulsSmile [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Due to the presence of three hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

DNA or deoxyriboucleic acid is made up of polymers of nucleotide. The single nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a pentose deoxyribose sugar and a phosphate group.

The nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Adenine is bonded with thymine with two hydrogen bonds whereas cytosine is bonded with guanine with three hydrogen bonds. Three hydrogen bonds are difficult to break as compared with two hydrogen bonds. Hence, DNA with more GC content is difficult to denature.

In which process is lactic acid formed when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to take place?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Fermentation

Explanation:

To find the correct answer, we will review over the definition of each answer choice.

Photosystem I is A membrane in a plant that produces high levels energy from light

Based on the definition, we can conclude that photosystem 1 is not the correct answer.

ATP Synthase are molecules that create ATP

We know that this answer choice is also not correct.

Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose to create energy.

Based on the definition provided we know that this answer choice is also incorrect

Fermentation is the process of lactic acid being formed when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to take place.

Therefore, fermentation is the correct term we are looking for.

If you have a compound that directly injects a pair of electrons into complex III of the electron transport chain during aerobic
hammer [34]

Answer:

A) 6

Explanation:

Complex III of the electron transport chain transfers four protons across the membrane during aerobic respiration, per pair of electrons. In the other hand, complex IV is responsible for transporting two protons (per pair of electrons) across the membrane.

If the given compound injects a pair of electron into complex III,  four protons will accumulated due to complex III activity and then two more protons as these electrons move forward to complex IV. This means a total of 6 protons being transported to intermembrane space.
