Answer:

c) probably a mixture of DNA and RNA.

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are the two types of nucleic acids present in cells. DNA or deoxyribose nucleic acid is composed of four type of bases ( adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine ), deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group. RNA or ribose nucleic acid is composed of four types of bases ( adenine, uracil, guanine and cytosine), ribose sugar and phosphate group.

Here, the sample had adenine which could be either from DNA or RNA. Thymine is from DNA. Ribose sugar is from RNA and uracil is from RNA. Hence, the sample has a mixture of DNA and RNA.

Why food must be digested before entering your cells?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.     Protein must be broken down into amino acids.     Starches break down into simple sugars.     Fats break down into into fatty acids and glycerol.
