Answer:

functional groups

Explanation:

Functional groups are molecules with specific atoms and have their own chemical properties when attached to some other substances. Glucose is a simple sugar and has an aldehyde group (CHO) as its functional group. The presence of CHO in it makes it be present in food without any harmful impacts. On the other hand, hexanoic acid has COOH (carboxylic group) as its functional group. COOH group has a tendency to donate its protons and become ionized. It is toxic as it is reactive and tends to affect the pH of the food or solution in which it is present.

The sequence of nucleotides in a messenger RNA molecule (mRNA) is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in a a transfer RNA
ycow [4]

Answer:

D-DNA molecule

Explanation:

The process of copying the sequence of  DNA nucleotide  sequences to the mRNA is called   Transcriptions. It  is the  first stage in gene expression   for protein synthesis, and<u> it involves the unwinding of the DNA double strands  molecules  by enzyme</u><u> </u>DNA Helicase into two  free strands,(by melting the hydrogen bonds between organic  bases), a process   initiated by the binding of enzymes RNA Polymerase to  the promoter sites on the DNA  template; the alignment of the mRNA  nucleotides on the  single DNA template strands in 3'-5  direction; the formation of  hydrogen bonds between the organic bases  of the template DNA  and   that of the messenger RNA single strands,(  and phosphodiesterbonds  within RNA nucleotide ), to form DNA-RNA complex.

The copying is done in  complimentary anti parallel fashion;5'-3' prime. direction.

 The  hydrogen bonds, between the bases  DNA-RNA complexes breaks,and  the releases  the mRNA  which  exists through the nuclear pores.Thus  this <u>leads to copying of the the coded messages as seqeunce of DNA , from the DNA to the mRNA for gene expressions.</u>

Explain how thermal energy causes changes in states of matter on earth. Is precipitation on earth possible without thermal energ
hoa [83]

Matter can change from one state to another when thermal energy is absorbed or released. A great example is Ice having its state changed to the liquid that is WATER. When ice is heated, it absorbs thermal energy and its temperature rises. At some point, the temperature stops rising and the ice begins to change to water, a liquid. As we all know, The change from the solid state to the liquid state is called melting.
