Glucose is the human body's key source of energy as it provides energy to all the cells in our body. Glucose also is critical in the production of proteins, lipid metabolism and is a precursor for vitamin C production.Glucose is the sole source of fuel to create energy for all brain and red blood cells. The availability of glucose influences many psychological processes. When glucose levels are low, psychological processes requiring mental effort l(self-control, critical thinking and decision-making) become impaired.

1. What are Chargaff's rules?

kotegsom [21]

1)Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any cell of any organisms should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to thymine. This pattern is found in both strands of the DNA.

2)DNA structure

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.

3)A nucleotide consists of three things: A nitrogenous base, which can be either adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine (in the case of RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil). A five-carbon sugar, called deoxyribose because it is lacking an oxygen group on one of its carbons. One or more phosphate groups.

4)DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because of this process of replication, where the resulting double helix is composed of both an old strand and a new strand. ... Semiconservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand.

5)The diagram has show in above.

6)complementary base pairing is necessary because the double helix shape would not be the same if not. Doubles would only pair with doubles and the singles to singles.

Propane is burned to provide the heat in many cooking grills. The chemical

tangare [24]

Answer: it's 3CO2+4H2O+Energy

Propane is a linear alkane of formula C3H8. It is mainly used as fuel (this is the main component of liquefied petroleum gas) in cooking and chemical industry reactions.

The reaction of its complete combustion by the presence of oxygen is:

C3H8 (gas) + 5O2 ==> 3 CO2 + 4H2O + energy (2220⋅kJ)

As we can see, propane can release carbon dioxide and water as every combustion reaction, and a lot of energy in the form of heat.

How does pressure relate to force

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Pressure is simply the force experienced by an object divided by the area of the surface on which the force acts. Note that the force here is the force acting perpendicular to the surface. The unit for pressure is the pascal, Pa.
