Answer:

The characteristic that best differentiates them is the production of energy more precisely the production of ATP molecules.

Explanation:

Anaerobic <u>glycolysis</u> occurs in the absence of O2. It consists of the conversion of pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol (alcoholic fermentation) or lactic acid (lactic fermentation). These pathways generate a total of two ATP molecules, which represent 5% of what is generated by the aerobic route.

<u> The Krebs cycle</u>: electrons and protons removed in carbon oxidation are accepted by NAD + and FAD. It takes two turns of the cycle to complete the oxidation of a glucose molecule. Thus, the total energy efficiency of the Krebs cycle for a glucose molecule is two molecules of ATP, six molecules of NADH and two molecules of FADH2.

In the <u>electron transport</u> chain each molecule of NADH converts 3 from ATP (2 NADH x 3 = 6 ATP). The conversion of pyruvic acid into AcetylCoA in the mitochondrial matrix gives 2 NADH per glucose molecule. (2 NADH x 3 ATP = 6 ATP).

For each of the following features of nucleic acids, indicate whether it is true of DNA only, of RNA only, of both DNA and RNA,
suter [353]

Answer:

Nucleic acid is one of the four major macromolecules that is present in all life forms. It includes DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). It is made up of small unit called nucleotides.

A nucleotide contains a pentose sugar that is deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA, nitrogenous base that is Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine in DNA and Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, Guanine in RNA, and a phosphate group.

It is synthesised by a process of comlementary base pairing ( such as in double stranded DNA, A pairs with T and G pairs with C).

DNA is converted to mRNA inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cell and mRNA is then translated to protein when it moves the cytosplasm of the cell.

Thus, the correct answers are as follows-

1) Is an inherently directional molecule, with an N-Terminus on one end and a C-Terminus on the other end - true neither for RNA or DNA.

2) Contains the base adenine- True for both DNA and RNA.

3) Contains the nucleotide deoxythmidine monophosphate- True for DNA

4) Occurs only in signle stranded form- True for both RNA and DNA( such as single stranded DNA in DNA virus, and RNA in single stranded RNA in AIDS virus).

5) Is synthesized by a process that involves base pairing- True for both DNA and RNA.

6) Is involved in the process of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm of the cells in the liver- True for RNA ( particularly messenger RNA, mRNA)
