Describe one similarity and one diffence between DNA and RNA

Biology
1 answer:
AveGali [126]4 years ago
4 0

Nucleic acids are the biolmolecules which are responsible for carrying information from one generation of organisms to the other. There are two types of nucleic acid namely the deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) and the ribo nucleic acid (RNA).

The similarity between the DNA and RNA is that both act as the genetic material carrying genetic information in them. Both are made up of polynucleotide chain with the repeating units called the nucleotides containing a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and phosphate. The difference lies in the type of the sugar and nitrogenous bases present. In RNA, the sugar is a ribose. In DNA, the sugar is a deoxy ribose derived from a ribose sugar by the loss of an oxygen atom. The nitrogenous bases of DNA are the adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Whereas, the nitrogenous bases of RNA are the adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. Also, DNA is a double stranded molecule with two polynucleotide chains, whereas RNA is single stranded.

Why and How is Photosynthesis like a Recipe?
GarryVolchara [31]
Photosynthesis is like a recipe because of how it makes something grow. Think of backing a cake. It starts as a liquid batter, like cytoplasm and rises as it gets heat, like from the sun. Everything that you add into it builds the cake, like everything that makes up photo builds the flower.

Remote monitoring is a technology enabling monitoring of patients outside of conventional clinical settings. This allows patients upload specific health readings e.g bloods pressure, glucose readings from their home to their health care provider.
