Answer:
1) c. five
2) a. lysine and arginine
3) g. two
4) d. four
Explanation:
A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;
1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.
2. A phosphate group.
3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.
The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;
I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.
II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.
Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and then condense it to chromatin.
Histones include five main classes of relatively small basic proteins containing relatively large amounts of lysine and arginine. Nucleosomes are made of two each of four types of histones.
1. 360 would be the net gain of ATP from the breakdown of ten molecules of glucose under aerobic conditions. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option.
2. The Krebs cycle does not occur if oxygen is not present. <span>The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option.
3. In the Krebs cycle, the carbon atoms in a three-carbon molecules are released in three molecules of carbon dioxide.
4. Oxidation is the name of the process in which oxygen goes in and dehydration is the name of the process in which water goes out.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is 3. sugars
Explanation:
During photosynthesis, the light energy is captured by the chlorophyll and this energy is used in the formation of sugar molecules with the help of water. Oxygen is released as the byproduct of this process.
So the light energy which is captured is stored in the bonds of sugar and when this bond is broken down during oxidation the energy is released and converted into another form which is ATP and this ATP is called the energy currency of the cell. This ATP is used in many metabolic processes. Therefore the correct answer is sugar.
