Why do complementary nucleotides across the double-stranded dna bond together using hydrogen bonds rather than covalent bonds?

Biology
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
7 0
Hydrogen bonds<span> are much weaker than covalent bond because of its bond is formed through fundamentally electrostatic interactions.

Hydrogen bonds happen due to dipole-dipole attraction while covalent bonds happen when valence electrons are shared.

Reasons why complementary nucleotides across the double-stranded dna bond together using hydrogen bonds rather than covalent bonds are (1) the distance between two strands, (2) size of the bases, (3) geometry of each base.</span>

Answer:

1. Producers create energy for other organisms to consume.

2. It converts sugars to usable energy that all organisms need

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy, which they obtain by feeding on one another in an ecosystem. The series of feeding steps involved is called FOOD CHAIN. Food chain always starts with an organism called PRODUCER, which is an autotroph i.e. capable of producing its own food by using light energy from sunlight e.g plants. All other organisms in the food chain are directly or indirectly dependent on plants to get energy. This is because plants and other autotrophs create the energy that is being transferred as the food chain progresses.

2. Cellular respiration is an important phenomenon for all living organism because it is the metabolic process by which they obtain the usable energy by their cells i.e. ATP. Food molecules in form of sugar (glucose) eaten by organisms are broken down in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) to yield ATP molecules, which is the energy currency of every living cell. This energy is used to perform the organism's life activities.
