Answer:

Nucleoside analog

Explanation:

  • Nucleoside analogs are the mutagenic chemicals that have a structure that is similar to the normal bases of the nucleotide and thus can be incorporated in the DNA during the process of replication, however as it has different base-pairing rules than the normal nucleotide base it can lead to mutations.
  • An example of a nucleoside analog is acyclovir which an analog of guanosine.

Assign each characteristic to the appropriate type of muscle fiber.
olga2289 [7]
I found the full exercise on the internet. Attached is an image of the characteristics and the types of muscle fibres.

Fast twitch:
- few mitochondria (most of the energy comes from acid lactic fermentation)
- low myoglobin content (O2 is not used as the main source of energy)
- shorter twitches
- anaerobic (uses mainly glucose and no O2)
- easily fatigued (as soon as glucose storage finishes fatigue comes in)
- high glycogen content (glucose as the main source of energy and therefore more glucose storage in the form of glycogen)

Slow twitch:
- high myoglobin content (energy comes from O2 and therefore is needed much myoglobin)
- aerobic (uses O2)
- low glycogen content (as O2 is the main source of energy, glucose is not needed as much)
-longer twitches

5. How are the empirical and molecular formulas for a compound related?
kirill115 [55]

The empirical and molecular formulas for a compound related in a way that, A molecular formula is sometimes a multiple of the empirical formula.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The measure of the number of atoms of each element that are present in a compound is the Molecular formula. The empirical formula gives the ratio of elements that are present in a compound in reduced way. It the molecular formula of a particular compound is not in a state of being reduced further then, the empirical and the molecular formula appears to be same.

The chemical can be attained from the empirical formula of any compound. This can be achieved by knowing the molecular weight of any compound.   The chemical formula for a compound obtained by composition analysis is always the empirical formula. Thus, the molecular formula is integer multiples of the subscripts of the empirical formula.
