The chemical formula would be
CTGA or any of the combinations of the four nitrogenous bases
The nucleotide is made up of four bases which makes it a tetranucleotide and the arrangement of each bases create a linear geometry.

Answer:

The chemical formula of a linear tetranucleoide with deoxyribose and one of each DNA nitrogenous bases would be the one shown at the picture. The nucleotides do not need to be in the shown order, there can be other combinations.

Explanation:

A tetranuleotide is a compound of four (tetra means four) nucleotides joined together.

Linear means that the structure will be arranged in a straight line. So a linear tetranucleotide is a compound of four nucleotides arranged in a straight line.

A nucleotide is a compound of a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base. The sugar can be a ribose or a deoxyribose and the nitrogenous base can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (for DNA) or uracil (for RNA).

*  When the nucleotide is formed of phosphate, deoxyribose and adenine is called dAMP.  (green color in picture)

* When its structure is phosphate, deoxyribose and guanine is dGMP.  (orange color in picture)

* dCMP for the union of phosphate, deoxyribose and cytosine (blue color in picture) and finally for the compound of phosphate, deoxyribose and thymine is dTMP.  (purple color in picture)

A decrease in the resting membrane potential is __________ whereas, __________ is an increase in the membrane potential.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.

Put the fats in order from the one that contains the greatest percentage of saturated fatty acids (1) to the one that contains t
olganol [36]

Answer:coconut oil, butter, palm oil, olive oil, canola oil.

Explanation: .

A saturated fat one whose fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds. A fat is made of two kinds of smaller molecules which are glycerol and fatty acids. Fats are made of long chains of carbon (C) atoms while some carbon atoms are linked by single bonds (-C-C-) bonds others are linked by double bonds (-C=C-). These Double bonds will react with hydrogen to form single bonds causing them to be SATURATED, because when the second bond is broken, each half of the bond is then saturated with a hydrogen atom.

In terms of saturated fats acids composition by percentage according to ChartsBin statistics collector team 2011, Fat Composition in different Cooking Oils, ChartsBin.com, palm oil is 14.192, coconut oil is 91.92 canola is 7.46,palm oil 51.57, butter 65%-68%.Here you can see that the order of saturated fats from the highest gives- Coconut,butter, palm oil,olive oil and Canola as the last

belka [17]

Answer:

(3) could be mistaken for food by some species, working their way up the food chain

Explanation:

Microbeads, such as other microplastics, can affect wildlife in many ways, but mostly by

  • Ingestion
  • Introduction and transference in the trophic web
  • Interaction with other contaminants
  • Microinvertebrates, bacteria, and viruses colonize these microplastics and can be transported long distances.

Organisms like mollusks, crustaceans, fishes, birds, turtles, among many others, might confuse these elements with food and eat them. Microbeads might float or accumulate in sediments and be ingested by different benthonic species. The ingestion of microbeads by inferior links in the trophic web means a direct entrance in the trophic web where many superior links are affected too while feeding with already contaminated prey.

The ingestion of microbeads can cause a significant impact on the growth, development, and reproduction of freshwater and seawater species.  

Microbeads, like other microplastics, characterize for their durability in time and resistance, which means that the ones that are already in the oceans and rivers will last there for centuries.
