5 0

Answer : A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

Explanation :

Nucleotide : It is a building block of nucleic acids or we can say that it is building block of DNA and RNA.

It is composed of three sub-unit molecules which are a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar and one phosphate group.

Nucleotide forms covalent bonds with other nucleotide for the formation of the nucleic acid strand.

Hence, a nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

Which of these statements is not true about chemical reaction rates
grin007 [14]

Answer: The statement (B) is not true about chemical reactions.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction rate is affected by the several factors few of which are temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area etc.

In a chemical reaction, if temperature is increased then the rate of reaction will increase because it will increase the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Thus, large number of molecules will have minimum energy required for an effective collision.

It is known that increasing the amount of reactants will increase the rate of reaction.

Therefore, rate of reaction will change if concentration or temperature is changed.

Hence, the statement (B) is not true about chemical reactions.
