Answer:

C. Nucleotides

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are macromolecules which are polymers of nucleotides. There are two types of nucleic acids namely: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids.

A nucleotide is made up of three components:

- A phosphate group

- A five carbon sugar called pentose sugar. In RNA the sugar is ribose sugar and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose sugar.

- Nitrogenous bases: There are four different types of bases in DNA: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. In RNA thymine is replaced by uracil. Adenine and guanine are purines whereas cytosine, thymine and uracil are pyrimidines.

Nitrogenous base and sugar together are called nucleoside and when phosphate is also attached then it is called nucleotide.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:a. Draw Punnett squares for each couple (you may need to do more than 1 square/ couple)

Baby 2 MUST belong to the Browns because Mr. Brown is the only parent with an A allele to

contribute… then the rest works out as follows:

b. To which parents does baby #1 belong? Why? Hint you may want to refer to your Punnett

squares.

Baby 1 must belong to the Smiths, because they are the only ones with the possibility of EACH

having a recessive allele to pass down to the baby, Mr. Brown has type AB blood and therefore

only has the dominant A and dominant B alleles – no recessive allele possible.

Why is it essential that the regulatory mechanisms that activate glycogen synthesis also deactivate glycogen phosphorylase?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

There are two pathways occur in the same cellular compartment, and, if both are on at the same time, a futile ATP hydrolysis cycle results. Using the same mechanism to turn them on/off or off/on is highly efficient.

- "Glycogen Phosphorylase" activity can be allosterically controlled ATP and G6P allosteric inhibitors, AMP allosteric activator as well as, controlled through covalent modification, phosphorylation and via hormones.

- Reaction Catalyzed by Glycogen Synthase:

The activity of glycogen synthase is subject to the same type of covalent modification as glycogen phosphorylase, however, the response is opposite. Glycogen Synthase is activated by G6P. It is also controlled via hormones.
