Answer:

Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy and structural support in cell walls of plants and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans. They are made of smaller subunits called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.

Difinition of disaccharides: any of a class of sugars whose molecules contain two monosaccharide residues.

Make an example...

Short carbohydrate chains are called oligosaccharides and contain 3 to 10 sugar molecules. Long carbohydrate chains can contain hundreds or even thousands of monosaccharide units. molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose joined together.

(03.05 MC) In which of the following ways is DNA replication similar to transcription?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: D. Thymine is used in replication while uracil is used in transcription.

Explanation:

Genetic information is stored in double-helixes of DNA molecules (Doxyribonuclease). In replication, two daughter strands of DNA are copied from the parent strand, while in replication, instructions stored within DNA are copied into a different form, called mRNA or messenger RNA.

Nucleotides are monomers comprising DNA, a nucleic acid that along with RNA, a ribose sugar-containing nucleotide, acts as a storage molecule to encode proteins. 5-carbon deoxyribose or ribose sugar, phosphate and one of four nitrogen bases are found in nucleotides:

Adenine (A)

Guanine (G)

Cytosine (C)

Thymine (T).

Uracil (U) found in RNA

While both contain four nucleotide bases, in RNA, uracil replaces thymine... The DNA nucleotides are involved in replication while RNA nucleotides drive transcription,

How much energy must these squid and small fish consume to sustain the elephant seal population

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Well, Since the elephant seals consume 200,000 calories from the squid and small fish, this means that the squid and the small fish get 2,000,000 calories from their food, thus they are able to sustain the population of elephant seals. Hope That Helps!
