Q2.1 - Hydrogen bonds can form with bases on the opposite DNA strands in the double helix, or between the bases and H2O in the s

ingle stranded conformation. Considering that the double helix is the most stable conformation in water, how does this observation support the conclusion that base stacking contributes more to helix stability than interbase hydrogen bonding

Answer:

Explanation:

In the  structure of  Nucleic acids the nucleobases (nucleotide and bases) are arranged is  a specific  form.This form of arrangement is called Base stacking.It simply refers to the bond formed between the adjacent bases.

These nitrogenous bases of (A,T,C.G) pairing  in DNA are in planes in geometry.The bases planes stack  with one another.This form of arrangement  give rooms for more Van der Waals interactions in the plane of the bases.Although the Van der Waals are weak interactions,the bond ensure that these bases are braided or twisted together to give maximum energy,to maintain stability of the bases,and therefore of DNA structure

Therefore in water  and other aqueous solution the stability of  structure of DNA is enhanced by the base stacking,(coiling or twisting)with maximum van der waals interaction  among the bases, than the hydrogen  bonds formed between bases.Generally there are more stacking among G-C,than A-T,thus the former pairing contribute more the structural stability than the latter (A-T)

What is the molar mass of Fe(CH2O2)3?
bija089 [108]

The Molar mass of Fe(CH_2O_2)^3 is 194g

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molecular mass of Fe = 56g

Molecular mass of C = 12g

Molecular mass of H = 1g

Molecular mass of O = 16g

Therefore, Molecular mass of Fe(CH_2O_2)^3

= 56+12\times3+6\times1+16\times6

= 56 + 36 + 6 + 96g

= 194g

So the Molar mass of Fe(CH_2O_2)^3 is 194g.

How do proteins utilize the energy from ATP?
Rashid [163]
Hello.

TP is a molecule with adenosine and three phosphate groups attached to it (adenosine triphosphate). To get energy from ATP, one of the bonds between the phosphates is broken, yielding energy and the molecule ADP - adenosine diphosphate, a molecule with adenosine and two phosphates. 

<span>In order to 'recharge' the molecule, a phosphate group is re-attached to ADP by ATP-synthase to yield ATP. In other words, energy is stored in the bonds between phosphates, and breaking the bond releases that energy.

What would happen if the electron transport system in the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis was disabled for some reaso
Andrei [34K]
The electron transport system in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is the one that is responsible for the production of electrons that are used as precursor for NADPH production. The NADPH and the other products that are made during the light dependent reaction are used during the dark reaction to produce sugar molecules. So, if the electron transport is disabled, glucose molecule will not be produced during the dark reaction.<span />

What does these prefix mean (Iono,Cumulo, Iso)?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

What does the prefix Iono mean?

a combining form with the meanings “ion,” “ionized,” “ionosphere,” used in the formation of compound words: ionophore.

Convective cloud types are indicated by the root word “cumulo,” which means “heap” in Latin. Convective clouds may become very tall and are rounded on top. Clouds are also classified by their altitude and their ability to create precipitation.

Iso-: A prefix meaning "equal," used in...

Iso-: A prefix meaning "equal," used in meteorology in conjunction with another word to denote lines on a weather map along which values of a given element, such as temperature (isotherm), are constant.
