Biology
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is D.

Not all fruits are rich in sugars. In the strict botanical sense, fruit is the  fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a plant, enclosing the seed or seeds. Therefore grapes, bananas, apples as well as bean pods are fruit, technically.

Bean pods are not rich in sugar, hardly any is found in them yet they are fruit. Others are cucumbers,  bitter almonds  and acorns. These are all fruit but not rich in sugars. But the term fruit has been popularly restricted to the ripened ovaries that are sweet and either succulent or pulpy.

1. The nucleic acids DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many . 2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1. Nucleotides

2. Amino acids

3. Amino acids

4. Glucose

Explanation:

All the above substance described are biomolecules. They are all polymers i.e. complex molecule bond together in a long repeating chain, made up of simpler subunits called monomers. The monomers of the different biomolecules outlined above are:

1. The nucleic acids, DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many NUCELEOTIDES. A nuceleotide is a chemical combination of a five carbon sugar (pentose), phosphate group and nitrogenous base. These nucleotides are arranged sequentially to form nucleic acids (RNA and DNA).

2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen molecules and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are arranged to form a 3D structure that determines the function of the protein.

3. Insulin is a protein hormone that regulates blood glucose levels and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. All proteins are made up of the amino acid but the protein's function is dependent on the 3D structure formed by the amino acid sequence.

4. Animals store energy in the form of glycogen, a carbohydrate made up of thousands of monosaccharide (GLUCOSE). Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of many monosaccharide units. These units are glucose molecules that are multibranched to form the glycogen that stores mainly in the liver and muscles of animals.

If a population of 1,000 individuals has 160 rr genotypes, assuming simple dominance by the A allele, what is the frequency of t
OverLord2011 [107]
<span>Here square frequency of recessive alleles r^2 = 160/1000 = 0.16
   
Therefore r = 0.16
       
Since r + d = 1; d = 1-0.16 = 0.84</span>

What is a nutrient broth?When part of a polypetide, which of the following amino acids have the potential to participate in hydr
Anna35 [415]

Answer and Explanation:

  • Nutrient Broth is an essential media made out of a straightforward peptone and a beef remove.  
  • Beef Extract gives extra nutrients, starches, salts and other natural nitrogen mixes. If required different improvements might be included during the arrangement of media.

Potential amino acids that take part in the hydrogen bonding are Asparagine and Arginine.

Asparagine contains amide group that takes part in Hydrogen bonding also Arginine is one of the important amino acid with a side chain that contains amine group and thus it participates in Hydrogen bonding.

Both of these are hydrophilic.
